| description | An overall gene expression score that indicates the probability of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) based on the presence of urine-based tumor markers in urine specimens by molecular genetic methods. Testing is performed for the diagnosis and surveillance of bladder cancer patients. Various non-invasive molecular assays exist for the detection of urothelial carcinoma (UC). Results may include an overall genetic expression score (this term), the probability of UC based on lab and clinical data [LOINC: 98854-3], and a risk score for the recurrence of UC [LOINC: 98040-9]. The submitter's gene expression score ranges from 0-1 where a score of <0.12 is a high probability of no UC, scores between 0.12 ≤ and< 0.23 indicate low probability of UC, and ≥ 0.23 indicates a high probability of UC.[PMID:27986532][PMID:31028363] | |

| component | Urothelial carcinoma gene expression score | |
| property | Score | |
| 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 | Urine | |
| scale | Qn = 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 | |
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | |
