Cells.chromosome region 5q31 deletion/Cells counted:NFr:Pt:Bone mar:Qn:FISHLOINC code
Preferred Label : Cells.chromosome region 5q31 deletion/Cells counted:NFr:Pt:Bone mar:Qn:FISH;
LOINC status : ACTIVE;
LOINC display name : Cells.chromosome region 5q31 del/Cells counted FISH (BM);
LOINC long common name : Cells.chromosome region 5q31 deletion/Cells counted in Bone marrow by FISH;
LOINC short name : Cells.5q31 Del/Cells NFr Mar FISH;
LOINC description : The percent of cells in bone marrow containing the 5q31 deletion involving the EGR1
gene 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 term is used to report
the number of cells that have the deletion out of total number of cells examined (e.g.
80 out of 100 cells, or 80%). Results are also typically reported in ISCN (International
System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature) format [LOINC: 62356-1]. This term is based,
but not limited in use to, the Vysis LSI EGR1 (5q31) probe, which targets the EGR1
gene and flanking regions.;
