LOINC display name : CYP2B6 gene allele genotype Molgen (Bld/Tiss);
LOINC long common name : CYP2B6 gene allele [Genotype] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method Nominal;
LOINC short name : CYP2B6 allele Geno Bld/T;
LOINC description : A patient's genotype for the CYP2B6 gene is typically reported as *A/*B where A is
the allele from one chromosome and B is the allele from the other chromosome. The
genotype is determined by the analysis of specific single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) within the gene by various molecular techniques, including PCR and microarray.
A number of variants within this gene are associated with altered drug metabolism
have been described, including *8 (415A G), *9 (516G T), *16 (983T C), and *5 (1459C
T). In some cases, SNP results are analyzed by bioinformatics computer software to
determine a patient's overall genotype.;
