Categories used to describe samples in PARR interpretation.

Results Category Definition
B-cell Clonal amplification with one or more IgH primer sets.
T-cell Clonal amplification with one or more TCRγ primer sets.
IgH and TCRγ rearrangement Clonal amplification of similar amplitude with both IgH and TCRγ primer sets.
Reactive Polyclonal amplification with all PARR primer sets.
Dominant peak only Dominant peak seen with one or more PARR primer sets with no clear clonal peak.
No peak Poor or negative amplification with PARR primer sets alongside good amplification of both DNA amplifiability controls. The presence of few lymphocytes in the sample cannot be distinguished from failure to amplify a clonal rearrangement.
Inadequate sample Poor or negative amplification with one or both DNA amplifiability controls alongside poor or negative amplification with PARR primer sets.
