LOINC long common name : Coronary heart disease multigene analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics
method;
LOINC short name : CHD Multigene Anl Bld/T;
LOINC description : This test includes analysis of alleles at multiple genetic loci associated with coronary
heart disease (CHD). Testing is performed to determine an individual's genetic-based
risk for CHD, particularly in patients at intermediate risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease (ASCVD) and those with family history of ASCVD. An overall genetic risk score
(GRS) [LOINC: 93306-9] and interpretation (high/low) [LOINC: 93307-7] may be provided
to improve risk estimates and aid in the prevention of CHD. The GRS is based on the
genotype of multiple genetic variants associated with CHD. Additionally, a patient's
overall 10-year probability of CHD may be calculated by multiply the 10-year ASCVD
score from the Pooled Cohort Equations by the GRS.;
