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 constitutional/congenital chromosome abnormalities. If this test is ordered with a reason for referral indicating a concern for a constitutional/congenital chromosome abnormality, the test will be cancelled and CHRCB / Chromosome Analysis, Congenital Disorders, Blood will be added and performed as the appropriate test.
If this test is ordered and the laboratory is informed that the patient is on a COG protocol, this test will be canceled and automatically reordered by the laboratory as COGBL / Chromosome Analysis, Hematologic Disorders, Children’s Oncology Group Enrollment Testing, Blood.
Cell Culture without Mitogens* followed by Chromosome Analysis*
*In addition to the cell culture without mitogens, a CpG stimulated culture will be added and 10 additional cells will be analyzed for any specimen received from a patient age 30 or older with a reason for referral of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), lymphocytosis, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, or when CLLF / Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), FISH is ordered concurrently.
