Genes SequencedNext generation sequencing of all coding regions of 9 genes sequenced including FAS, JAK1, KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CD, PIK3R1, STAT5B, TLR8 and UBA1.
Test DetailsExtraction of DNA, capture of the genes to be assayed, and sequencing of the entire coding region on the Illumina platform. Identified variants previously described and other potentially pathogenic non-synonymous variants are reported with interpretations. This targeted hybrid capture-based test is designed to detect somatic single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions (indels). At a mean depth of coverage of at least 4000x across the captured region, this test has 89.84% sensitivity for variants at a variant allelic fraction (VAF) of 1.25% and 99.48% for variants at a VAF of at least 2.5%.
MethodologyNext-generation sequencing
