Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
This test includes a charge for cell culture of fresh specimens and professional interpretation of results. Analysis charges will be incurred for total work performed, and generally include 2 banded karyograms and the analysis of 20 metaphase cells. If no metaphase cells are available for analysis, no analysis charges will be incurred. If additional analysis work is required, additional charges may be incurred.
This test is not appropriate for detecting acquired chromosome abnormalities. If this test is ordered with a reason for referral indicating a hematologic disorder, the test will be cancelled and CHRHB / Chromosome Analysis, Hematologic Disorders, Blood will be performed as the appropriate test.
A chromosomal microarray study (CMACB / Chromosomal Microarray, Congenital, Blood) is recommended as the first-tier test (rather than a congenital chromosome study) to detect clinically relevant gains or losses of chromosomal material for individuals with multiple anomalies not specific to well-delineated genetic syndromes, individuals with apparently nonsyndromic developmental delay or intellectual disability, and individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
