How to incorporate NanoString data into the CDM using HGNC

Yes, the output is a real number

@Mikailgo

Gene expressions are normalized based upon standard genes in the assays, so results of different analyses can always be compared.

@Christian_Reich

with a fixed threshold or some relative measure

@Mikailgo If you have the breakpoints established within the assay, you can bring not just numbers, but also categorical interpretations using the value_as_concept_id.

@Christian_Reich

We could easily extend that to the mRNA expression (amplification)

Wouldn’t it be better a property of the SPECIMEN table? At least on the day when we’ll have an external key link for the Measurement to Specimen?
