LOINC display name : Del(1)(p32p32)(STIL,TAL1) fusion transcript Molgen Ql (Bld/Tiss);
LOINC long common name : Del(1)(p32p32)(STIL,TAL1) fusion transcript [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular
genetics method;
LOINC short name : Del(1p32)(STIL,TAL1) Bld/T Ql;
LOINC description : This term is used to identify a leukemia causing gene deletion at 1p32 resulting in
a gene fusion between STIL and TAL1 where the STIL promoter controls TAL1. 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.;
