Cystic Fibrosis Test for a Known Family Change

Alaska rates for HCPCS 81221

A genetic test that checks a blood or saliva sample for one particular cystic fibrosis gene change that has already been identified in the family. Because the exact change being sought is known, the laboratory examines only that spot rather than reading the whole gene. It is used to find out whether a relative carries the same change.
