96757-0
LaboratorySARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) S gene codon N501Y [Presence] in Specimen by Molecular genetics method
Definition
This term is used to report whether the spike protein N501Y codon change (currently a mutation compared to the original strain) was detected in the SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strain by molecular methods. To report whether the N501 codon (currently the wild type) was detected, use [LOINC: 96756-2]. 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 the sequencing study, use SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) variant [Type] in Specimen [LOINC: 96741-4].
