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

Hereditary thrombocytopenia multigene analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Hereditary thrombocytopenia multigene analysis
Multigene analysis for inherited thrombocytopenia (IT), a group of hereditary disorders characterized by a reduced platelet count, abnormal platelet function, followed by impaired haemostasis. Over 40 genes have been known to cause different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. However, the identification of the underlying causative gene in a patient is challenging given the high degree of heterogeneity. Testing does provide insight into the various clinical presentations and prognosis, where some defects can lead to hematological malignancies.[PMID31275945]
