96752-1

LOINC code 96752-1 identifies "SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) S gene mutation [Presence] in Specimen by Molecular genetics method". This term is used to report whether a known mutation was detected within the S (spike) gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by molecular methods. To report the mutation found, use [LOINC: 96751-3]. 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].

This code measures SARS coronavirus 2 S gene mutation in XXX. It belongs to the MICRO class in the LOINC classification.

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
