Koolen De Vries Syndrome / 17q21.31 Microdeletion Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a microdeletion on chromosome 17q21.31. It is characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, and other physical abnormalities. The ICD-10 code for this syndrome is Q93.51, while the ICD-9 code is 758.39. These codes are used for medical billing and classification purposes to identify and document the specific condition for healthcare providers.
Koolen De Vries Syndrome, also known as 17q21.31 Microdeletion Syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by a microdeletion on the long arm of chromosome 17. This syndrome is characterized by a range of physical and developmental features.
In terms of coding, the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) provides specific codes for various medical conditions, including Koolen De Vries Syndrome. The ICD-10 code for this syndrome is Q93.5. This code falls under the category of "Other deletions of part of a chromosome," which is further classified as a "Chromosomal deletion syndromes" in the ICD-10 coding system.
As for the ICD-9 code, it is important to note that the ICD-9 system has been replaced by ICD-10. However, for historical purposes, the corresponding ICD-9 code for Koolen De Vries Syndrome would have been 758.3. This code falls under the category of "Other chromosomal anomalies," specifically "Deletion of short arm of chromosome 17."
It is crucial to accurately document and code medical conditions to ensure proper diagnosis, treatment, and billing purposes. The ICD-10 code Q93.5 is essential for identifying and tracking cases of Koolen De Vries Syndrome, while the previous ICD-9 code 758.3 was used before the transition to the current coding system.
