LOINC Code 94188-0: APC gene del+dup and full 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 APC gene deletion+duplication & full mutation analysis. 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

• APC gene deletion+duplication and full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• APC gene deletion+duplication & full mutation analysis
• Full gene sequence analysis is performed to detect the presence of a mutation in all coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the APC gene. In addition, deletion/duplication analysis, such as by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), is used to test for the presence of large deletions or duplications in the APC gene. This test is used to confirm a diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) for patients with clinical findings.
