About QA0.015
QA0.015 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for neurodevelopmental disorders, related to genes associated with transcription and gene expression. It belongs to category QA0 (neurodevelopmental disorders related to specific genetic pathogenic variants), block QA0-QA1 (genetic disorders, not elsewhere classified) and chapter 17 (congenital malformations, deformations, chromosomal abnormalities, and genetic disorders). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.
Within QA0.01 (neurodevelopmental disorders related to pathogenic variants in certain specific genes), QA0.015 is specifically for neurodevelopmental disorders, related to genes associated with transcription and gene expression. Related codes cover pathogenic variants in ion channel genes (QA0.010), pathogenic variants in glutamate receptor genes (QA0.011), pathogenic variants in other receptor genes (QA0.012), pathogenic variants in other transporter and solute carrier genes (QA0.013) and pathogenic variants in synapse related genes (QA0.014).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: QA0.0151 (syndrome) and QA0.0159 (expression).
It was added in FY2026, effective October 1, 2025.
