96756-2
LaboratorySARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) S gene codon N501= [Presence] in Specimen by Molecular genetics method
Definition
This term is used to report whether the N501 codon (currently the wild type) in the S gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detected by molecular methods. To report whether the N501Y mutation was detected, use [LOINC: 96757-0]. For using a single code to report any mutation found in the S gene, use [LOINC: 96751-3]. To report the SARS-CoV-2 variant strain identified based on a sequencing study, use SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) variant [Type] in Specimen [LOINC: 96741-4].
