LOINC long common name : Sarcoma targeted gene fusion transcript analysis in Tissue by Sequencing;
LOINC short name : Sarcoma gene fusion analysis Tiss Seq;
LOINC description : Evaluation of multiple gene fusion transcripts by sequence analysis, such as by next-generation
sequencing, to detect the presence of somatic sarcoma-related gene fusions in a tissue
specimen. Testing is performed for the diagnosis of specific soft tissue and bone
tumors (sarcomas) based on the detected gene fusions. For example, a fusion between
PAX3 and FOXO1 genes indicates an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and the EWSR1-FLI1 gene
fusion is a present in Ewing's sarcomas. The overall result summary (fusion detected/not
detected) along with information about the fusions identified, fusions targeted/tested,
interpretation, testing method(s) and recommendations are typically included in the
report.;
