LOINC Code 76063-7: MSH2 gene+MLH1 gene+MSH6 gene familial mut analysis Molgen Doc (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 MSH2 gene+MLH1 gene+MSH6 gene mutation analysis limited to known familial 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

• MSH2 gene+MLH1 gene+MSH6 gene mutation analysis limited to known familial mutations in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• MSH2 gene+MLH1 gene+MSH6 gene mutation analysis limited to known familial mutations
• This term is used for carrier or diagnostic testing for at-risk or presymptomatic relatives of an affected individual who has a previously identified known genetic mutation within the MLH1, MSH2 or MSH6 genes. Mutations in these genes cause hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Mutation analysis only includes testing for the known familial mutation.
