nameIL28B gene associated variant rs12979860 [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentIL28B gene associated variant rs12979860
propertyPrThr  =  Present or threshold:  The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold.
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.
systemBld/Tiss
    Bld  =  Whole blood
    Tiss  =  Tissue, unspecified
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodMolgen  =  Molecular Genetics:  General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods.

Associated Observations

LOINC codes that represent optional associated observation(s) for a clinical observation or laboratory test. A LOINC term may represent a single associated observation or panel containing several associated observations.

last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonEdited Component part from "Hepatitis C virus IL28B rs12979860 genotype" because the use of "hepatitis C virus" in the component name is misleading. The test reports a SNP variant near the IL28B gene, not in any hepatitis C gene. The results for this variant are used to predict the outcome of therapy for HCV.; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.; Added "Tiss" to System "Bld" because this is a germline DNA test.
