LOINC long common name : t(8;21)(q22;q22.3)(RUNX1T1,RUNX1) fusion transcript/control transcript [# Ratio] in
Bone marrow by Molecular genetics method;
LOINC short name : t(8;21)(RUNX1T1,RUNX1)/control Mar;
LOINC description : Translocations between chromosomes 8 and 21, resulting in a fused transcript between
RUNXT1 (8q22) and RUNX1 (21q22.3), can be detected with real-time PCR. An endogenous
control gene transcript (e.g. ABL1, GUS or BCR) is amplified along with the fusion
transcript of interest. Standard curves of known amounts of both the control and fusion
transcript are used to calculate the ratio of the fusion transcript signal to the
control gene signal.;
