Colorectal Cancer Two-Gene Methylation Test

Maryland rates for HCPCS 0229U

Used in colorectal (bowel) cancer to check two genes, BCAT1 and IKZF1, for methylation — chemical tags that switch a gene off. It looks at whether these two genes have been silenced in this way, not at whether their DNA spelling has changed.
