LOINC Code 79212-7: Microdels risk Sequencing Ql (cfDNA) [Interp]

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 Fetal microdeletions risk. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Plas.cfDNA.

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: Sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Fetal Microdeletions risk [interpretation] in Plasma cell-free DNA Qualitative by Sequencing
• Fetal microdeletions risk
• The interpretation (e.g. not detected, increased risk) of chromosomal microdeletions present in fetal cell-free DNA from maternal plasma. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, QNatal Advanced, a non-invasive prenatal test which uses massively parallel sequencing to identify microdeletions in select chromosome regions, including 22q (DiGeorge syndrome), 15q (Prader-Willi/Angelman syndromes), 11q (Jacobsen syndrome), 8q (Langer-Giedion syndrome), 5p (Cri-du-chat syndrome), 4p (Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome), and 1p36 deletion syndrome.
