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: [9,10-3H] myristate substrate

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Acyl CoA dehydrogenases [Enzymatic activity/mass] in Fibroblast by [9,10-3H] myristate substrate
Acyl CoA dehydrogenases
One method for diagnosing acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies is fatty acid oxidation analysis in cultured fibroblasts. Using multiple fatty acid substrates with varying carbon chain lengths, such as palmitate (16 carbons) [LOINC78358-9] and and myristate (14 carbons) (this term), can help differentiate between disorders such as long-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency and medium-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.[PMID: 2109149] Enzyme activity is measured as nanomoles of fatty acid oxidized per hour per milligram of cell protein (nmol FA/h/mg protein).
