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

Tissue · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Daily (p.m.); Report available: 6 days
Method and collection
Method
Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)
Collection
Lung tissue biopsy, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded block or charged/+slides from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue. Specimen must be fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Fixation between 6 and 48 hours is recommended. Pathology report must accompany paraffin block or slides.

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.
