Interpretive Data

This assay is designed for detection of relevant DNA mutations and fusion transcripts associated with myeloid disorders. The DNA panel is comprised of 45 key genes, while the RNA panel includes a broad fusion panel of 35 driver genes, covering the most relevant targets in major myeloid disorders, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloid dysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).



The assay will only detect sequence variants occurring within the targeted regions. Variants outside of the targeted regions will not be detected. Mutations in genes other than those listed in the panel will not be detected.
