What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

LOINC Code 81293-3: Range(s) of DNA sequences examined Nar

Name: LOINC Code 81293-3: Range(s) of DNA sequences examined Nar
Creator: HealthAssure Clinical Team
Published: 2026-05-21T09:00:05.775Z

81293-3 is a LOINC code used to identify Range(s) of DNA sequences examined Nar in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Range(s) of DNA sequences examined. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

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 Range(s) of DNA sequences examined. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

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: TRIAL
Order vs observation: Observation

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Description of ranges of DNA sequences examined

Range(s) of DNA sequences examined

This term is used to report a narrative description of the range(s) of DNA sequences examined in this sequencing study. Genetic test reports only rarely include explicit numeric ranges (which would be reported using [LOINC51959-5]) beause they are often proprietary, and more often describe the regions examined in narrative. For example, "all coding regions and appropriate flanking regions." To report the region of interest (e.g., in terms of introns and exons) rather than the specific DNA sequences examined, [LOINC: 47999-8] may be used.
