Term Description

This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Progenie Molecular RealCycler test kit, which uses a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the amplification of a specific region of the DNA/RNA using complementary primers to the target sequence, to detect the Treponema pallidum (PolA) gene.

Part Description

LP189800-8   Treponema pallidum polA gene
Treponema pallidum is a gram-negative spirochaete bacterium thought to be metabolically crippled. There are at least four known subspecies: T. pallidum pallidum, which causes syphilis, T. pallidum pertenue, which causes yaws, T. pallidum carateum, which causes pinta and T. pallidum endemicum, which causes bejel. T. pallidum pallidum is a motile spirochaete that is generally acquired by sexual contact, entering the host via breaches in squamous or columnar epithelium. The organism can also be transmitted to a fetus by transplacental passage during the later stages of pregnancy, giving rise to congenital syphilis. The helical structure of T. pallidum pallidum allows it to move in a corkscrew motion through viscous mediums such as mucus. It gains access to host's blood and lymph systems through tissue and mucus membranes. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

Change Reason
The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.; Removed parentheses from Component because the contents represent a gene name, not an acronym
