95553-4
Laboratory5p15.2 (5p-) chromosome deletion [Identifier] in Blood or Tissue by FISH
Definition
FISH studies are performed to detect a deletion on chromosome 5p15.2. FISH signal pattern indicating a loss of the this region is consistent with a diagnosis of Cri-du-chat syndrome (5p- syndrome). 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.).
