Inherited Colon Cancer Panel, Large Changes

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 81436

A genetic test on a blood or tissue sample that examines a group of genes linked to inherited bowel cancer and polyp syndromes. It looks specifically for whole sections of a gene that are missing or present in extra copies, rather than reading the genetic sequence letter by letter. Changes of that size are easily missed by sequence reading, so this study is used to complete the picture.
