Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation Analysis 16460
Tissue · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Mon
Method and collection
Method
Next Generation Sequencing
Collection
FFPE tissue block: Regular procedure for paraffin-embedded tissue block preparation. Slide preparation: Cut one 3-5 microns tissue section for H&E stain. Cut 3-5 (10 microns) sections on charged regular glass slides for macrodissection. The slide should not be baked or melted. A new blade must be used for cutting each paraffin block to prevent cross contamination. Minimum volume: 3x10 um sections; 1x4 um section with H&E stain Standard volume: 5x10 um sections; 1x4 um section with H&E stain Do not reject specimens. Send to laboratory for screening.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
