LOINC Code 81851-8: 11p15 methylation and del+dup 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 Chromosome region 11p15 methylation & 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: Molgen

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Chromosome region 11p15 methylation and deletion+duplication in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• Chromosome region 11p15 methylation & deletion+duplication
• The methylation status and copy numbers of the 11p15 chromosome region can be determined by various methods, including methylation-specific PCR and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA). This test is performed to detect causes of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) and Russell-Silver Syndrome (RSS).
