What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

When is it used?

Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
Status: ACTIVE
Order vs observation: Both
Method: Molgen

What it does not mean

The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

MET gene amplification in Blood or Tissue by Molgen

MET gene amplification

To date, the gold standard method to evaluate the GCN of MET is fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). However, next-generation sequencing (NGS) is becoming more relevant to optimize therapy by revealing the mutational profile of each NSCLC. [https//www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8508248/]
