LOINC long common name : WT1 gene exon 1 2 transcript/control transcript [# Ratio] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular
genetics method;
LOINC short name : WT1 ex 1 2/control Bld/T;
LOINC description : Wilm's tumor (WT1) gene expression is calculated by measuring the copy numbers of
transcripts within exon 1 and 2 of the WTI gene compared to transcripts from a control
gene. The WT1 gene expression is used as a specific molecular marker to improve diagnosis,
prognosis and follow-up of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Early decreased
expression of WT1 copy number in peripheral blood predicts better outcome for AML
patients [PMID:20107153]. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's
package insert, Ipsogen's ProfileQuant kit. This kit uses real-time quantitative
PCR to quantify WT1 gene expression relative to ABL1 control gene.;
