Test Information

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Marshfield Labs.  It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary.  This test is for clinical purposes.  It should not be regarded as investigational or for research.  This laboratory is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical testing.

Reference Range Information
Performing Location Reference Range
​Mayo Medical Laboratories ​​Positive, negative, or indeterminate for a clonal T-cell population
Interpretation
​An interpretive report will be provided. Results will be characterized as positive, negative, or indeterminate for a clonal T-cell population. In the appropriate clinicopathologic setting, a monoclonal result is associated with a neoplastic proliferation of T cells (see Cautions).
