LOINC Code 51958-7: Transcript reference sequence Nom (Bld/Tiss) [ID]

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Transcript reference sequence identifier. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld/Tiss.

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: Observation

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Transcript reference sequence [ID]
• Transcript reference sequence identifier
• This field carries the ID for the transcribed reference sequence, which is the part of the genomic reference sequence that is converted to messenger RNA (i.e., after the introns are removed). The transcript reference sequence ID may be reporting using various coding systems including NCBI's RefSeq ("NM_..."), Ensembl ("ENST..."), and LRG ("LRG..." plus "t1" to indicate transcript).
