LOINC display name : Del(17)(p13) FISH Nom (Bld/Tiss);
LOINC long common name : Del(17)(p13) [Identifier] in Blood or Tissue by FISH Nominal;
LOINC short name : Del(17)(p13) Bld/T FISH;
LOINC description : Deletions at 17p13 can be detected by FISH and used for the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic
leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma as well as other forms of cancer. This code is based,
but not limited to, Kreatech Diagnostic's p53 (17p13) probe, which detects copy numbers
of the p53 gene region at 17p13. Labs often report the X number of cells that have
the probe deletion out of Y number of cells (e.g. 80 out of 100 cells, or 80%). Results
are typically reported in ISCN (International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature)
format.;
