Clinical Significance
The 523-gene comprehensive genomic profiling panel is
intended to help oncologists deliver precision medicine by
providing personalized genomic analysis of a patient s
tumor tissue. This comprehensive panel offers the
opportunity for a broader scope of genomic information
compared to single gene tests or smaller panels. For
example, it may be useful for patients with limited or
ill-defined treatment options and for those considering
clinical trials. This panel uses next-generation sequencing
to detect mutations present in DNA and RNA extracted from
formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections of
solid tumors. The test is designed to detect single
nucleotide variants (SNVs) and small insertions/deletions,
as well as whole-gene copy number alterations,
translocations, and splice site variants in a select group
of genes. Microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor
mutation burden (TMB) are also evaluated.
