LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 55198-6 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Zygosity [Identifier] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method Nominal | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Zygosity | ||
| property | Prid = Presence or identity: Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte. | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Bld/Tiss Bld = Whole blood Tiss = Tissue, unspecified | ||
| scale | Nom = 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. | ||
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | Zygosity Bld/T | ||
Basic Attributes | |||
| class | MOLPATH | ||
| type | 1 Laboratory | ||
| order vs. observation | Both | ||
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. | |||
History/Usage | |||
| first released | |||
| last updated | 2.70 | ||
| last change type | MAJ - change to name field other than Component; | ||
| change reason | Release 2.70: SYSTEM: Updated System to the more general molecular genetics Specimen of Bld/Tiss since this test can be performed on various specimens, including buccal swabs and whole blood. The cells collected from the cheek swabs falls under the "Tiss" Specimen type in LOINC. The results (e.g. fraternal, identical) from either specimen types obtained from twins or multiples would be the same.; Previous Releases: Removed 'Twin' from Component since term was misleading. It could have been interpreted as zygosity testing on twins only, not other types of multiples (triplets, etc.). | ||
