PLA Use of "100 genes or more." It's baaaack!

 For several years, there seemed to be a PLA moratorium on the use of "or more" so you'd see the construction "Panel of 85 genes" instead of "Panel of 85 or more genes."   Use of "Panel of 85 genes" suggested you'd start over with the PLA panel if you added a gene ("Panel of   85  ^86   genes.")

I discussed this in some detail today in a blog about new PLA codes.
