LOINC Code 72520-0: FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations Molgen Ql (Bld/Tiss)

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 FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations. 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: Both
• Method: Molgen

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations
• Point mutations and deletions of codons D835 and I836 within the second tyrosine kinase domain (protein activation loop) of the FLT3 gene are detected by molecular genetic methods (e.g. PCR-based assays). This code was created for, but not limited to Invivoscribe's LeukoStrat(tm) FLT3 Gel Detection Mutation Assay, which detects the presence or absence of either D835 or I836 mutations within the second TKD but does not identify specific TKD mutations. FLT3-TKD mutations occur in approximately 7% of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
