Chromosome Study For Mixed Cell Patterns

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 88263

A chromosome study in which a much larger number of cells than usual is counted, and two full sets of chromosomes are photographed and analyzed in detail. Counting many cells is what makes it possible to detect a mixed pattern, where some cells in the body carry a chromosome change and others do not. It is used when a mixed pattern is suspected but a standard study did not show it.
