LOINC Code 94587-3: Germline disorder chromosome analysis Mate pair sequencing Doc (Amnio fld/CVS)

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 Germline disorder chromosome analysis. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Amnio fld/CVS.

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: Mate pair sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Germline disorder chromosome analysis in Amniotic fluid or Chorionic villus sample by Mate pair sequencing
• Germline disorder chromosome analysis
• This term is used for the order & overall report for chromosome analysis by sequencing methods, such as mate pair sequencing, for the detection of germline (congenital) chromosome abnormalities in amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) specimens. Results may include the overall findings, the result in ISCN format, testing methods, interpretation, recommendations, and references. Testing is performed when previous cytogenetic studies are unsuccessful or detect a chromosome abnormality of unknown significance. Results provide diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information for patient care.
