LOINC Code 72208-2: t(8;21)(q22;q22.3)(RUNX1T1,RUNX1) fusion transcript/control transcript Molgen (BM) [# ratio]

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 t(8;21)(q22;q22.3)(RUNX1T1,RUNX1) fusion transcript/control transcript. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bone mar.

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

• t(8;21)(q22;q22.3)(RUNX1T1,RUNX1) fusion transcript/control transcript [# Ratio] in Bone marrow by Molecular genetics method
• t(8;21)(q22;q22.3)(RUNX1T1,RUNX1) fusion transcript/control transcript
• Translocations between chromosomes 8 and 21, resulting in a fused transcript between RUNXT1 (8q22) and RUNX1 (21q22.3), can be detected with real-time PCR. An endogenous control gene transcript (e.g. ABL1, GUS or BCR) is amplified along with the fusion transcript of interest. Standard curves of known amounts of both the control and fusion transcript are used to calculate the ratio of the fusion transcript signal to the control gene signal.
