Cells.chromosome region 5q31 deletion/Cells counted:NFr:Pt:Bld/Tiss:Qn:FISHLOINC code
Preferred Label : Cells.chromosome region 5q31 deletion/Cells counted:NFr:Pt:Bld/Tiss:Qn:FISH;
LOINC status : ACTIVE;
LOINC display name : Cells.chromosome region 5q31 del/Cells counted FISH (Bld/Tiss);
LOINC long common name : Cells.chromosome region 5q31 deletion/Cells counted in Blood or Tissue by FISH;
LOINC short name : Cells.5q31 Del/Cells NFr Bld/T FISH;
LOINC description : The percent of cells in blood or tissue 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.;
