LOINC Code 82939-0: Genetic variant details Molgen Nar (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 Genetic variant details. 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

• Genetic variant details in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method Narrative
• Genetic variant details
• Narrative information (unstructured) about a genetic variant. The results may state that a mutation was not identified or include the variant(s) found. The location of the variant may be described at various levels, such as genomic (g.), coding (c.), and protein (p.) levels. Details may also include alternate identifiers for the variant (e.g dbSNP ID, Transcript reference sequence ID), the clinical significance (e.g. pathogenic, variant of unknown significance) and the change type (e.g. homozygous, heterozygous, wild type).
