Test details
This next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel, with a turnaround time of 3 days, enables the rapid analysis of key DNA and RNA targets where the speed of result is essential to guide therapy for acute leukaemia cases.
The panel can simultaneously interrogate 45 DNA target genes and 30 RNA fusion driver genes (see below). A comprehensive profile of myeloid mutations can be produced from a single NGS run; over 700 unique fusion transcripts can be sequenced.
Gene content on the panel has been curated to cover relevant targets for all the major myeloid disorders – acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML). Among the targets are Calreticulin (CALR), JAK2, MPL and NPM1, which were previously offered as individual tests.

Profile details
This NGS assay allows for rapid generation of comprehensive profile of variants (both DNA and RNA) from a single NGS run. This assay can profile both DNA and RNA targets including DNA mutations and translocations detected from RNA targets and allows for simultaneous interrogation of 45 DNA target genes and 30 RNA fusion driver genes. The broad fusion panel enables sequencing of over 700 unique fusion transcripts.
The panel covers relevant targets for acute myeloid leukaemia, myelodyplastic syndromes and myeoproliferative neoplasms, including CML, CMML and JMML. Among the targets are Calreticulin (CALR), JAK2, MPL and NPM1, which were previously offered as individual tests.
