LOINC long common name : COMT gene product metabolic activity interpretation in Blood or Tissue Qualitative
by Molecular genetics method;
LOINC short name : COMT gene prod met activ Bld/T-Imp;
LOINC description : The COMT gene product metabolic activity (phenotype) interpretation is determined
by the reporting lab and returned with the structured test results. The Preferred
Answer list associated with this term is based on the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation
Consortium (CPIC) guidelines for reporting DPYD gene product metabolic activity (phenotype),
which apply to both genetic and enzymatic assays (this LOINC term represents a genetic
assay). This specific interpretation would be considered a separate observation made
by the lab in addition to the primary reported results (e.g., genotype or measured
activity level) and it could be included with other assay-specific observations, which
would ideally support the interpretation value. [https://cpicpgx.org/resources/];
