LOINC Code 74311-2: PRRSV ORF5 gene sequence sequence Nom (Isol)

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 Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus ORF5 gene sequence. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate.

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: Sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• PRRSV ORF5 gene sequence [Nucleotide sequence] in Isolate by Sequencing
• Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus ORF5 gene sequence
• Sequencing of ORF5 gene in PRRSV and reporting the actual base sequence. The submitter's lab performs reverse transcriptase PCR on various specimens, including tissue, serum, oral fluid, and semen, to detect and isolate the ORF5 gene. PCR products are then used for sequencing.
