LOINC long common name : Dermatophytes chitin synthase 1 chs1 gene [Presence] in Nail by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : Dermatophytes chs1 Nail Ql NAA probe;
LOINC description : This term was created for, but not limited to, Staten's Serum Institute Dermatophyte-Trichophyton
rubrum test kit, which is is an in vitro diagnostic detection of dermatophytes in
general (pan-dermatophytes) as well as Trichophyton rubrum (see LOINC 69939-7). The
primer pairs are directed towards genes encoding chitin synthase 1 (chs1, 366bp amplicaon
size) for detection of dermatophytes and ITS2 (internal transcribed spacer, 203bp
amplicon size) for detection of T. rubrum.;
