09999 IUPAC Gold Book - examination result 10.1351/goldbook.09999 09999 current 1 Set of nominal property values being attributed to an examinand together with any other available relevant information. An "examination result" sometimes contains "relevant information" about the set of nominal property values, such that some may be more representative of the examinand than others. "Examination result" should not be confused with nominal property value set. An "examination result" may be expressed as a single examined value and an examination uncertainty. If there is no dispersion of nominal property values attributed to the examinand or if the examination uncertainty is considered to be negligible for a specified purpose, the examination result may be expressed as a single examined value. The gene for hemochromatosis (HFE) is examined for a possible mutation at c.187 from C to G. The result is C/C. If the probability of having an examination result that deviates from a conventional nominal property value is close to zero, then the examination uncertainty is considered negligible. conventional nominal property value https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/10002 examinand https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/09985 examination uncertainty https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/10004 examined value https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/10000 nominal property value set https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/09997 nominal property values https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/09996 PAC, 2018, 90, 913.
