LOINC Code 98490-6: FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations/Normal Molgen (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 FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations/normal. 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

• FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations/Normal in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
• FLT3 gene.p.Asp835+Ile836 mutations/normal
• This term represents the "allelic ratio" of tyrosine kinase domain mutations (examining, but not distinguishing between codons D835 and I836). This term represents a signal ratio, following PCR amplification, of a patient's FLT3 gene DNA having the indicated mutations to that same patient's wild type FLT3 gene.
