LOINC Code 95779-5: TFE3 gene rearrangements FISH 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 TFE3 gene rearrangements. 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: FISH

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• TFE3 gene rearrangements in Tissue by FISH
• TFE3 gene rearrangements
• The detection of rearrangements involving the TFE3 (transcription factor E3) gene by FISH. A positive result suggests a rearrangement of the TFE3 gene region at Xp11.23 and supports the diagnosis of alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) or renal cell carcinoma (RCC) variant when combined with an anatomic pathology consultation.
