Whole Genome Sequencing For An Unexplained Condition

Kentucky rates for HCPCS 81425

Reads essentially all of a person's DNA in one test, looking for the change behind an unexplained condition that may have been present from birth or that runs in the family. It goes wider than tests that read only the protein-coding stretches of the genes, which are a separate service. Results take weeks, and findings unrelated to the original question can turn up.
