Reference Values
None Detected
Interpretation
If a mutation has been detected in a Gene Target, the mutation site is indicated. A result of "None Detected" indicates that no mutations were detected for that gene target. A twofold impact of the mutation in the IC50 value must be indicated to assign a result of resistance. A complete list of mutations that have been reported in the literature can be found on our website. Maribavir resistance is not evaluated in this panel. See test code 33126.
