Reference Values
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation
The assay is reported as positive or negative. In positive cases, the mutation and its variant allele fraction (VAF) are reported.
VAF%= (mutant copy number)/(mutant copy number + wild-type number)
The precision of this quantitative assay is excellent but interassay variability may occur such that result changes should not be considered significant if 2 single measurements differ by less than 0.5 log (3.16-folds).
