Comments Testing of the core competencies of laboratories that deliver measurement services of copy number variant (CNV) analytes and CNV measurement has not been covered previously. Agreement was received in the October 2019 meeting of the NAWG in Torino to conduct the HER2 CNV measurement as a key comparison. This study is proposed as a follow up study to CCQM-P184 Copy number concentration and fractional abundance of a mutation (SNV or INDEL) mixed with wild-type DNA. In CCQM-P184, all participants measured single nucleotide (BRAF gene) and small deletion (EGFR gene) variants in a background of wild type genomic DNA, so CMC can be claimed for copy number concentration and copy number ratio measurements of small variants (gene regions) by digital PCR. Thus, this proposed study aims to extend participants' capability from SNV and INDEL measurement to structural variant measurement, focusing on gene copy number variation.

        xR = 58 440 μL-1     uR = 2 500 μL-1

 

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value xR is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in μL-1:

Di = (xi - xR) and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence where Ui = 2(ui 2 + uq2 - uR 2 )1/2  with uq the additional variance between laboratories.

The degrees of equivalence are also given in relative terms by Di = (xI - xR) /xR and its expanded uncertainty Ui  /xat a 95 % level of confidence, both expressed in %.

MEASURAND   Copy number concentration of a single copy reference gene RPPH1 in isolated human gDNA in buffered aqueous solution

SAMPLE                  Sample 2

Two study materials (Sample 1 and Sample 2) with different HER2 CNV levels prepared by mixing HER2 ‘normal’ (2 HER2 gene copies per diploid cell) and HER2 ‘positive’ (HER2-amplified) gDNAs

 

The key comparison reference value xR and its associated standard uncertainty uR are calculated based on a restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimator as described in pages 16 to 25 of the CCQM-K176 Final report.

        xR = 38 500 μL-1     uR = 1 200 μL-1

 

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value xR is given by a pair of terms, both expressed in μL-1:

Di = (xi - xR) and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence where Ui = 2(ui 2 + uq2 - uR 2 )1/2  with uq the additional variance between laboratories.

The degrees of equivalence are also given in relative terms by Di = (xI - xR) /xR and its expanded uncertainty Ui  /xat a 95 % level of confidence, both expressed in %.

The degree of equivalence of laboratory i relative to the key comparison reference value xR is given by a pair of terms, both dimensionless:

Di = (xi - xR) and its expanded uncertainty Ui at a 95 % level of confidence where Ui = 2(ui 2 + uq2 - uR 2 )1/2  with uq the additional variance between laboratories.

The degrees of equivalence are also given in relative terms by Di = (xI - xR) /xR and its expanded uncertainty Ui /xR at a 95 % level of confidence, both expressed in %.
