96751-3
LaboratorySARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) S gene mutation detected [Identifier] in Specimen by Molecular genetics method
Definition
This term is used to report the mutation(s) identified within the S (spike) gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by molecular methods. For reporting the SARS-CoV-2 variant strain identified, various codes are available in LOINC depending on the nomenclature used. For the most general code (nomenclature unspecified), use SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) variant [Type] in Specimen [LOINC: 96741-4]. To report the lineage for the variant, use SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) lineage [Type] in Specimen [LOINC: 96895-8]. To report the clade for the variant, use SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) clade [Type] in Specimen [LOINC: 96896-6].
