LOINC code51959-5
nameRange(s) of DNA sequence examined
descriptionThis term is used to report the region(s) of interest for sequencing studies as one or more numeric ranges that identify the parts of the reference sequence that are sequenced. These can be recorded as one or more HL7 numeric ranges using repeat delimiters to seperate multiple such ranges. They can also be recorded singly, one per OBX, using OBX-4 to distinguish these repeats with the same Observation ID. However, such detailed specification of the sequencing region of interest is rare, in part because this information is often proprietary, and the region of interest is reported as a text description instead, e.g., "Sequenced all of the coding, and appropriate flanking regions," using [LOINC: 81293-3].

propertyNumRange  =  Number Range
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.

    Tiss  =  Tissue, unspecified
scaleNom  =  Nominal:  Nominal or categorical responses that do not have a natural ordering. (e.g., names of bacteria, reported as answers, categories of appearance that do not have a natural ordering, such as, yellow, clear, bloody.
methodMolgen  =  Molecular Genetics:  General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods.
