Next-generation sequencing sarcoma analysis
Comprehensive genetic testing to guide patient care
With numerous types of sarcomas that can have overlapping features, diagnosis can be challenging. Using only histological and immunophenotypic features can lead to a high rate of inaccurate diagnoses.
Published data indicates a substantial number of patients have discordant diagnoses between referring institutions and specialty centers.1 Genetic testing can improve diagnostic accuracy and overall patient management.
Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ comprehensive, next-generation sequencing sarcoma fusion panel includes 169 genes and assesses mutations and fusions described in more than 50 types of soft tissue, bone, and other mesenchymal tumors. Because fusion events can occur between known or novel gene partners, the panel is designed to provide the most comprehensive analysis by including 124 gene fusion pairs, 274 fusion variants, and novel gene partner detection.
