LOINC Code 72334-6: NPM1 gene c.960insCATG 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 NPM1 gene.c.960insCATG 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

• NPM1 gene c.960insCATG transcript/control transcript [# Ratio] in Bone marrow by Molecular genetics method
• NPM1 gene.c.960insCATG transcript/control transcript
• The quantification of NPM1 mutation B (c.960insCATG) transcripts are compared to a control gene (e.g. ABL1) by real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). NPM1 primers and probes spanning exons 11 and 12 may be used to detect quantify the NPM1 mutation transcripts. Results are based on the normalized copy number [NPM1 mut B copy number/ABL1 copy number) x 100]. This test is based on, but not limited to, IPSOGEN'S NPM1-B/D MutaQuant Kit, which is used as research tool (as of 2012) for the quantification of NPM1-B transcripts in samples previously identified as carrying the NPM1 mutation B. The results are used to monitor the decrease of NPM1 mutB expression.
