Generated Narrative: Observation variant-egfr
Profile: Variant (Observation)
identifier: 00c22e97-a226-4845-b17a-e24ec1f4f77a
status: Final
category: Genetics, Laboratory
code: Genetic variant assessment
subject: Theon SHEFFIELD
effective: 2026-07-13 10:37:26+0000
value: Present
note:
ILLUSTRATIVE VALUES ONLY. The allelic frequency component (81258-6) is the field of primary clinical interest for a dPCR ctDNA result: it carries the mutant-allele fraction quantified directly by the assay (droplet/bead-positive fraction, Poisson-corrected), which is what a clinician uses to gauge ctDNA burden and track it serially — analogous to how VAF is used from NGS, but here derived from a targeted few-plex assay rather than sequencing depth.
method: Digital PCR (BEAMing / OncoBEAM platform). NOTE: unlike 'Sequencing' (LOINC LA26398-0), the standard LOINC/SNOMED CT answer lists referenced by this IG do not currently include a dedicated coded answer for 'digital PCR' — captured here as free text pending a suitable coded term (e.g. a local or SNOMED CT extension) being agreed with your terminology team.
