LOINC display name : 4p16.3 chromosome del FISH Doc (Bld/Tiss);
LOINC long common name : 4p16.3 chromosome deletion in Blood or Tissue by FISH;
LOINC short name : 4p16.3 Del Bld/T FISH;
LOINC description : FISH studies are performed to detect a deletion on the short arm of chromosome 4 (4p16.3)
in patients, primarily newborns, suspected of having Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS).
FISH signal pattern indicating a loss of 4p16.3 is consistent with a diagnosis of
WHS. LOINC codes with a Scale of Doc can be used for the order and to represent the
overall report and collection of results (clinical indication, method, overall findings,
ISCN result, interpretation, etc.).;
