HTT gene CAG repeats [Presence] in Amniotic fluid or Chorionic villus sample by Molecular genetics method   75393-9

LOINC Code


LOINC code75393-9
nameHTT gene CAG repeats [Presence] in Amniotic fluid or Chorionic villus sample by Molecular genetics method
descriptionPrenatal diagnosis of Huntington disease (HD) by detecting the presence of a CAG expansion in the HTT gene in amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sample (CVS). This test may be performed when there is a family history of a CAG expansion.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentHTT gene.CAG repeats
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.
systemAmnio fld/CVS
    Amnio fld  =  Amniotic fluid
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 reasonThe 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.
