Sex Chromatin Study For Barr Bodies

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 88130

A microscope examination of cells that looks for a small dense body pressed against the edge of the nucleus, which appears when one X chromosome has been switched off. Whether it is present, and how often, gives information about a person's chromosomal sex. Direct chromosome and genetic testing have largely taken its place.
