  • 2021 Code Changes Reference Guide
    Boston University Medical Group 2021 CPT Code Changes Reference Guide Page 1 of 51 Background Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) was created by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1966. It is designed to be a means of effective and dependable communication among physicians, patients, and third-party payers. CPT provides a uniform coding scheme that accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. CPT is used for public and private reimbursement systems; development of guidelines for medical care review; as a basis for local, regional, and national utilization comparisons; and medical education and research. CPT Category I codes describe procedures and services that are consistent with contemporary medical practice. Category I codes are five-digit numeric codes. CPT Category II codes facilitate data collection for certain services and test results that contribute to positive health outcomes and quality patient care. These codes are optional and used for performance management. They are alphanumeric five-digit codes with the alpha character F in the last position. CPT Category III codes represent emerging technologies. They are alphanumeric five-digit codes with the alpha character T in the last position. The CPT Editorial Panel, appointed by the AMA Board of Trustees, is responsible for maintaining and updating the CPT code set. Purpose The AMA makes annual updates to the CPT code set, effective January 1. These updates include deleted codes, revised codes, and new codes. It’s important for providers to understand the code changes and the impact those changes will have to systems, workflow, reimbursement, and RVUs. This document is meant to assist you with this by providing a summary of the changes; a detailed breakdown of this year’s CPT changes by specialty, and HCPCS Updates for your reference.

  • Host Genetics and Infectious Disease: New Tools, Insights and Translational Opportunities
    REVIEWS Host genetics and infectious disease: new tools, insights and translational opportunities Andrew J. Kwok 1, Alex Mentzer 1,2 and Julian C. Knight 1 ✉ Abstract | Understanding how human genetics influence infectious disease susceptibility offers the opportunity for new insights into pathogenesis, potential drug targets, risk stratification, response to therapy and vaccination. As new infectious diseases continue to emerge, together with growing levels of antimicrobial resistance and an increasing awareness of substantial differences between populations in genetic associations, the need for such work is expanding. In this Review, we illustrate how our understanding of the host–pathogen relationship is advancing through holistic approaches, describing current strategies to investigate the role of host genetic variation in established and emerging infections, including COVID-19, the need for wider application to diverse global populations mirroring the burden of disease, the impact of pathogen and vector genetic diversity and a broad array of immune and inflammation phenotypes that can be mapped as traits in health and disease. Insights from study of inborn errors of immunity and multi-omics profiling together with developments in analytical methods are further advancing our knowledge of this important area.

Correspondence to: Genghis H. Lopez, PhD. Clinical Services and Research Division, Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, 44 Musk Avenue, Kelvin Grove, Queensland 4059, Australia. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: The MNS blood group system, International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) 002, is second after the ABO system. GYPA and GYPB genes encode MNS blood group antigens carried on glycophorin A (GPA), glycophorin B (GPB), or on variant glycophorins. A third gene, GYPE, produce glycophorin E (GPE) but is not expressed. MNS antigens arise from several genetic mechanisms. Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) contribute to the diversity of the MNS system. A new antigen SUMI (MNS50), p.Thr31Pro on GPA has been described in the Japanese population. Unequal crossing-over and gene conversion are the mechanisms forming hybrid glycophorins, usually from parent genes GYPA and GYPB. GYPE also contributes to gene recombination previously only described with GYPA. Recently, however, GYPE was shown to recombine with GYPB to form a GYP(B-E-B) hybrid.

Hassan2 1-Department of Biochemistry, University of Bahri, Sudan 2-Department of Biotechnology, Africa city of Technology, Sudan *Crossponding author: Mujahed I. Mustafa: email: [email protected] Abstract: Background: McLeod neuroacanthocytosis syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive multisystem disorder affecting the peripheral and central nervous systems, red blood cells, and internal organs. Methods: We carried out in silico analysis of structural effect of each SNP using different bioinformatics tools to predict substitution influence on protein structural and functional level. Result: 2 novel mutations out of 104 nsSNPs that are found to be deleterious effect on the XK structure and function. Conclusion: The present study provided a novel insight into the understanding of McLeod syndrome, SNPs occurring in coding and non-coding regions, may lead to RNA alterations and should be systematically verified. Functional studies can gain from a preliminary multi-step approach, such as the one proposed here; we prioritize SNPs for further genetic mapping studies. This will be a valuable resource for neurologists, hematologists, and clinical geneticists on this rare and debilitating disease.

  • CD System of Surface Molecules
    THE CD SYSTEM OF LEUKOCYTE APPENDIX 4A SURFACE MOLECULES Monoclonal Antibodies to Human Cell Surface Antigens APPENDIX 4A Alice Beare,1 Hannes Stockinger,2 Heddy Zola,1 and Ian Nicholson1 1Women’s and Children’s Health Research Institute, Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Adelaide, Australia 2Institute of Immunology, University of Vienna, Vienna ABSTRACT Many of the leukocyte cell surface molecules are known by “CD” numbers. In this Appendix, a short introduction describes the history and the use of CD nomenclature and provides a few key references to enable access to the wider literature. This is followed by a table that lists all human molecules with approved CD names, tabulating alternative names, key structural features, cellular expression, major known functions, and usefulness of the molecules or antibodies against them in research or clinical applications. Curr. Protoc. Immunol. 80:A.4A.1-A.4A.73. C 2008 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Keywords: CD nomenclature r HLDA r HCDM r leukocyte marker r human leukocyte differentiation r antigens INTRODUCTION During the last 25 years, large numbers of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have been pro- duced that have facilitated the purification and functional characterization of a plethora of leukocyte surface molecules. The antibodies have been even more useful as markers for cell populations, allowing the counting, separation, and functional study of numer- ous subsets of cells of the immune system. A series of international workshops were instrumental in coordinating this development through multi-laboratory “blind” studies of thousands of antibodies. These HLDA (Human Leukocyte Differentiation Antigens) Workshops have, up until now, defined 500 different entities and assigned them cluster of differentiation (CD) designations.
