LOINC Code 79414-9: MSH6 gene del and dup mutation analysis MLPA 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 MSH6 gene deletion+duplication. 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: MLPA

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• MSH6 gene deletion and duplication mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by MLPA
• MSH6 gene deletion+duplication
• Deletion/duplication testing for MSH6 gene is performed by using the multiple ligation probe amplification (MLPA) platform. MLPA will detect full MSH6 gene deletions and multiple-exon and single-exon deletions and duplications. Balanced translocations are not detected by this method.
