70027-8
LaboratoryDermatophytes chitin synthase 1 chs1 gene [Presence] in Nail by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This term was created for, but not limited to, Staten's Serum Institute Dermatophyte-Trichophyton rubrum test kit, which is is an in vitro diagnostic detection of dermatophytes in general (pan-dermatophytes) as well as Trichophyton rubrum (see LOINC 69939-7). The primer pairs are directed towards genes encoding chitin synthase 1 (chs1, 366bp amplicaon size) for detection of dermatophytes and ITS2 (internal transcribed spacer, 203bp amplicon size) for detection of T. rubrum.
