Regenstrief Work-In-Progress Presentation
LogicalObservationIdentifiersNames andCodes
A universal code system that facilitates exchange, pooling, and processing of clinical data.
Rhymes with OINK!
Established in 1994 by Regenstrief Institute.
Vocabulary standard for observation identifiers.
LOINC is like a bar code for test data…

Cells.HPV E6+E7 mRNA/cells [Presence] in Cervix by Flow cytometry (FC)
Most human papilloma virus (HPV) genomes encode for eight major proteins, six "early" (E1, E2, E3, E4, E6, and E7) and two "late" (L1 and L2). The "early" are regulatory in function. E6 and E7 genes in high-risk HPV genotypes are known as oncogenes because of their continuous expression, which leads to disruption of cell-cycle check points and cell genome instability through alteration of cellular p53 and retinoblastoma protein functions. This test identifies cervical cells containing HPV E6 and E7 polycistronic mRNA using in situ hybridization with oligonucleotides specific for the mRNA transcripts. The cells remain intact, and following fixation and permeabilization, the probes enter the cells. The flow cytometer measures two things: 1. Quantification of E6 and E7 mRNA in each cell and 2. The percentage of cells over-expressing E6 and E7 mRNA.
Our vision is for LOINC to be integrated into every clinical information system that shares or aggregates data.

Overnight success is largely a myth

overnight successes took a long time. - Steve Jobs

LOINC Has Codes For…Mutation analysis
Trinucleotide repeats
Large deletion/duplications
Chromosomal alterations
Aneuploidy/Uniparental disomy (UPD)
Karyotyping
Clonality in leukemia and lymphomas
Paternity testing
Forensic testing
Emerging Testing DomainVaried formats and naming conventions
Many local names just include disorder
But, need to know what is being tested for
Most genetic test results sent as narrative text Discrete data is much better (e.g. mutations found, interpretation, recommendations)
Recommended some steps to incrementally improve from narrative to structured
