LOINC Code 94592-3: Chromosome rearrangement Mate pair sequencing Nom (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 Chromosome rearrangement. 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: Mate pair sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Chromosome rearrangement [Identifier] in Blood or Tissue by Mate pair sequencing Nominal
• Chromosome rearrangement
• This term is used to report the mate pair sequencing results, preferably using a standardize nomenclature such as ISCN, for targeted chromosome analysis of neoplastic clones in blood or bone marrow specimens. Testing is performed in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or other myeloid malignancies when previous cytogenetic studies are unsuccessful or detect a chromosome abnormality of unknown significance. Results provide diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic information for patient care.
