LOINC Code 69002-4: HPV E6+E7 mRNA NAA+probe Ql (Cvx)

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 Human papilloma virus 16+18+31+33+35+39+45+51+52+56+58+59+66+68 E6+E7 mRNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Cvx.

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: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Human papilloma virus E6+E7 mRNA [Presence] in Cervix by NAA with probe detection
• Human papilloma virus 16+18+31+33+35+39+45+51+52+56+58+59+66+68 E6+E7 mRNA
• This term was created for (but not limited to) Gen-Probe's Aptima HPV assay (Cat No. 302610) that detects the E6 and E7 polycistronic mRNA from 14 high-risk HPV genotypes (16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,66,and 68) that can lead to cervical cancer. E6/E7 genes in high-risk HPV genotypes are known as oncogenes because of their continuous expression, which leads to disruption of cell-cycle check points and cell genome instability through alteration of cellular p53 and retinoblastoma protein functions. This test is similar to LOINC 69358-0, which measures cells containing E6+E7 mRNA via flow cytometry.
