Test Methodology

Flow Cytometry

* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.

Test Limitations

This flow cytometry assay is intended to be used as a screening test. Screening tests are not 100% sensitive nor specific, and a normal result should not preclude molecular sequencing if a patient's clinical presentation suggests that the probability of a diagnosis is high.
