C9orf72 gene GGGGCC repeats [Entitic number] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method   77635-1

LOINC Code


LOINC code77635-1
nameC9orf72 gene GGGGCC repeats [Entitic number] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
descriptionUsed to report the number of hexanucleotide GGGGCC repeats in a non-coding sequence of the C9orf72 gene. This mutation is associated with 9p-linked ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and FTD (frontotemporal dementia).[PMID: 21944778] The normal number of the hexanucleotide repeats is typically 30,[PMID: 22808918] but in patients with the mutation, the repeat can occur in the order of hundreds.[PMID: 22399793]
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentC9orf72 gene.GGGGCC repeats
propertyEntNum  =  Entitic Number
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
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
methodMolgen  =  Molecular Genetics:  General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods.
