LOINC Code 93778-9: HPV 6+11 E6+E7 mRNA Probe Ql (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 Human papilloma virus 6+11 E6+E7 mRNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type 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: Probe

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Human papilloma virus 6+11 E6+E7 mRNA [Presence] in Tissue by Probe
• Human papilloma virus 6+11 E6+E7 mRNA
• This assay detects low risk Human papilloma virus (HPV) genotypes 6 and 11 mRNA in tissue by in situ hybridization. The result (e.g. detected/not detected) only indicates whether either of the probes were detected. It does not differentiate between HPV 6 & 11. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's reported result for the Ventana HPV 6 & 11 mRNA probe kits, which bind to HPV 6 & 11 E6/E7 mRNA transcripts. HPV 6 and HPV 11 sequences are highly homologous, therefore the mRNA probes may cross react with the alternate sequence, if present, in the tissue specimen.
