Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay
One single assay for comprehensive coverage of relevant myeloid mutations
Current methods for the analysis of hematological malignancies often involve multiple sequential tests and laborious workflows. Adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) into clinical research laboratories has created an unprecedented opportunity to profile the multiple relevant driver genes in myeloid malignancies in a single test.
The Ion Torrent Oncomine Myeloid Research Assay is a comprehensive, targeted NGS assay designed to assist in the understanding of myeloid cancer. Specifically, it interrogates relevant DNA mutations and fusion transcripts associated with myeloid disorders in a quick and easy NGS run. Our panel is comprised of 40 key DNA target genes and 29 driver genes in a broad fusion panel (Table 1) to cover all the major myeloid disorders: acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloid dysplastic syndrome (MDS), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML).
A simple and integrated workflow
The assay is compatible with both Ion PGM and Ion GeneStudio S5 systems, and comes with manual or automated library preparation configurations for the Ion Chef System (Figure 1). Sample preparation to analysis can be achieved in 2–3 days depending on the sample type, and variants are annotated by our integrated Oncomine Knowledgebase reporting software that links variants to relevant diseases, labels, guidelines, and global clinical trials.
