LOINC Code 95795-1: HBG1 and HBG2 genes full mutation analysis Sequencing 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 HBG1 gene & HBG2 gene 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: Sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• HBG1 and HBG2 genes full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Sequencing
• HBG1 gene & HBG2 gene full mutation analysis
• Full gene sequence analysis of the gamma globin genes, HBG1 and HBG2, is performed to assess for variants causing conditions such as neonatal hemolytic anemia, cyanosis, methemoglobinemia, and nondeletional hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH). Testing is useful to characterize abnormal hemoglobins identified by electrophoresis and suspected to be due to gamma chain variants. This code is used for the test order and to represent the overall report, which may include the variant(s) found, testing method, interpretation, recommendations and references.
