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 Preconception &or prenatal carrier screening multigene 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: Molgen

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Preconception AndOr prenatal carrier screening multigene analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• Preconception &or prenatal carrier screening multigene analysis
• Reproductive carrier screening is performed during preconception or prenatally to determine the risk for passing on serious inherited genetic conditions to a child. Most carrier screening is for recessive disorders. Common conditions screened for include cystic fibrosis (CF, CFTR gene), Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD, DMD gene), fragile X syndrome (FXS, FMR1 gene), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA, SMN1 gene).
