name
descriptionThis term is used to report whether the N501 codon (currently the wild type) in the S gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detected by molecular methods. To report whether the N501Y mutation was detected, use [LOINC: 96757-0]. For using a single code to report any mutation found in the S gene, use [LOINC: 96751-3]. To report the SARS-CoV-2 variant strain identified based on a sequencing study, use SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) variant [Type] in Specimen [LOINC: 96741-4].

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.
system{Specimen}
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
method{Molgen}
    Molgen  =  Molecular Genetics:  General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods.
