LOINC Code 74314-6: PRRSV ORF5 gene RNA pattern RFLP Nom (Isol) [ID]

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 RNA pattern. 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: Observation
• Method: RFLP

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• PRRSV ORF5 gene RNA pattern [Identifier] in Isolate by RFLP
• Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus ORF5 gene RNA pattern
• A 3-digit identifier (e.g. 2-5-2) is assigned to Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) based on the RFLP pattern of isolated RNA from the ORF5 gene. ORF5 gene is the most variable and therefore best for strain identification. It is NOT to identify anything particular about the ORF5 distinct from the rest of the virus.
