Founded in 2017, Mayo Clinic's Advanced Diagnostics Laboratory is a visionary space. In 2021, the lab developed the Mayo Complete Solid Tumor Panel, a clinically validated assay that analyzes 515 genes using next-generation sequencing. This multiple test panel, the first of its kind at Mayo, aids in selecting targeted therapies, diagnosing tumor types, and predicting prognosis, significantly improving patient care.
Matthew J. Schultz, Ph.D., and Amy L. White, M.S., CGC, explain how Mayo Clinic Laboratories' unique urine assay (Mayo ID: SORD) screens for peripheral neuropathy arising from SORD gene variants. Although recently identified, SORD-related peripheral neuropathy is fairly common.
