LOINC Code 89039-2: MSH2 gene deletion+duplication and full mutation analysis and EPCAM gene exons 8 and 9 del and dup mutation analysis 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 MSH2 gene deletion+duplication & full mutation analysis & EPCAM gene exons 8 & 9 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

• MSH2 gene deletion+duplication and full mutation analysis and EPCAM gene exons 8 and 9 deletion and duplication mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• MSH2 gene deletion+duplication & full mutation analysis & EPCAM gene exons 8 & 9 deletion+duplication
• This test includes full sequencing analysis of the MSH2 gene as well as deletions and/or duplication analysis of one or more exons in the MSH2 gene and exons 8 and 9 in the EPCAM gene. Testing is performed for the diagnosis of Lynch syndrome (also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)) and for predictive diagnosis and potential early intervention for at risk family members.
