LOINC Code 94590-7: Oncologic chromosome analysis Mate pair sequencing Doc (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 Oncologic chromosome analysis. 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: Mate pair sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Oncologic chromosome analysis in Tissue by Mate pair sequencing
• Oncologic chromosome analysis
• This term is used for the order & overall chromosome analysis report for identifying oncology-related abnormalities in various tissue specimens, including lymph nodes, skin biopsy, frozen tissue, and cultured tumor cells, by sequencing methods, including mate pair sequencing. Results may include the overall findings, the result in ISCN format, testing methods, interpretation, recommendations, and references. This may be performed as second-tier testing in oncologic specimens when previous cytogenetic testing has detected an acquired chromosome abnormality of unknown significance.
