LOINC Code 92002-5: SMN1 gene NAA+probe (DBS) [ThreshNum]

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 SMN1 gene. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.dot.

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: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• SMN1 gene [Cycle Threshold #] in DBS by NAA with probe detection
• SMN1 gene
• The number of cycles at which the SNM1 gene was detected using real-time PCR. If the maximum number of cycles is reached without detection of the gene, this indicates the absence of SNM1 and requires follow-up evaluation for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
