Category description

Reported from lab

Decision on how to use data

Undetectable values

Reflect samples below the lowest standard

The lowest observed value for each biomarker was identified and all low values for that biomarker were recorded as ½ that value (Myriad-RBM) or ½ the lowest standard (ARC)

Normal values

Normal values

Normal Values

High values

Reflect samples above the highest standard

Value equals twice the highest value (Myriad-RBM) or twice the highest standard (ARC)
