LOINC display name : t(6;11)(q27;q23)(MLLT4,MLL) fusion transcript Molgen Ql (Bld/Tiss);
LOINC long common name : t(6;11)(q27;q23)(MLLT4,MLL) fusion transcript [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular
genetics method;
LOINC short name : t(6;11)(MLLT4,MLL) Bld/T Ql;
LOINC description : This term is used to identify a leukemia causing chromosomal translocation resulting
in a gene fusion between MLLT4 (6q27) and MLL (11q23) genes. The term was created
for (but not limited to) DNA Technology's HemaVision HV01-28N kit, a qualitative in
vitro diagnostic test for 28 leukemia causing chromosomal alterations including more
than 80 breakpoints plus associated mRNA splice variants. Reverse transcription followed
by multiplex nested polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR) and agarose gel electrophoresis
are used to identify gene fusions caused by chromosomal translocations, gene deletions
or inversions. Testing information is useful for predicting development of the disease
and selection of treatment.;
