Additional Test Codes
Epic Order Name: GLIOMA NGS PANEL
Sunquest Order Code: GLNGS
Epic Px Code: LAB8196
Specimen Collection Type
FFPE tissue: 5 to 10 slides, each up to 10 ?m thick plus one additional H&E reference slide with tumor tissue marked.
Minimum Collection Volume
FFPE: 5 unstained slides + 1 representative H&E
Additional Information / Notes
Detects somatic small nucleotide variations (SNVs) and small insertions/deletions (INDELs) in BRAF, IDH1 and IDH2. This targeted next-generation sequencing panel is designed to detect somatic small nucleotide variations (SNVs) and small insertions/deletions (INDELs) in BRAF, IDH1, and IDH2. The detection of variants present in these genes can serve as a prognostic indicator and assist in guiding treatment decisions for gliomas.
