LOINC Code 88572-3: 22q11.2 del risk Dosage of chromosome-specific cfDNA 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 22q11.2 deletion 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: Dosage of chromosome specific cf DNA

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Fetal 22q11.2 deletion risk [Interpretation] based on Plasma cell-free DNA by Dosage of chromosome-specific cfDNA Qualitative
• Fetal 22q11.2 deletion risk
• The ordinal risk interpretation (e.g. high risk/low risk or high probability/low probability) of the fetus having a 22q11.2 deletion based on dosage of chromosome specific cell-free DNA (cf DNA) in maternal plasma that contains both fetal and maternal DNA. Results may also be based on the mother's current age, IVF status (self, non-self, or not applicable), and gestational age. This code is based, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test, the Harmony Prenatal Test, a non-invasive prenatal test for screening of fetal aneuploidy as well as the 22q11.2 deletion.
