LOINC description : Gene mutations, deletion and duplication analysis is performed to confirm a clinical
diagnosis of Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). Genes known to cause
HNPCC, including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, may be amplified by PCR methods and sequenced.
Detection of copy number variations (deletions and duplications) may be performed
by multiple-ligation-probe amplification assay (MLPA).;
