LOINC Code 94212-8: PKLR 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 PKLR 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

• PKLR gene deletion+duplication and full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• PKLR gene deletion+duplication & full mutation analysis
• Test includes full sequence analysis (e.g. by Sanger and/or next-generation sequencing) and deletion/duplication analysis for the detection of variants and large deletions/duplications in the PKLR gene in patients with low levels of erythrocytic PK enzymatic activity. Testing is performed to aid in the diagnosis of pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency.
