This test is performed by sequencing the entire coding regions of the genes listed using cell-free plasma DNA/RNA. ASXL1, BCOR, BRAF, CEBPA, CSF3R, DNMT3A, ETV6, EZH2, FLT3, HRAS, IDH1, IDH2, JAK2 V617F, JAK2 Exon 12+14, KIT, KMT2A (MLL), KRAS, NPM1, NRAS, PDGFRA, PHF6, PML, PTPN11, RUNX1, SETBP1, STAG2, TET2, TP53 and WT1. Test orders include summary interpretation of all results together. For patients with therapy-related AML, AML that evolved from MDS, and AML with myelodysplasia, we recommend instead the NeoLAB® MDS/CMML Profile- Liquid Biopsy.
Molecular profiling with the NeoLAB® AML Profile- Liquid Biopsy is appropriate for AML patients with intermediate-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, which is a heterogeneous group. This Profile can refine and improve risk stratification by confirming intermediate risk or reclassifying patients to more favorable or unfavorable risk categories. This change in risk classification may have therapeutic implications. In addition, this test can be used for screening and determining if a bone marrow biopsy is an absolute necessity, as well as monitoring disease status and response to therapy. It can also be used for performing molecular studies when a bone marrow sample is inadequate (dry tap, insufficient quantity, or not viable), or not available. For patients with therapy-related AML, AML that evolved from MDS, and AML with myelodysplasia, we recommend instead the NeoLAB® MDS/CMML Profile- Liquid Biopsy. To rule out favorable-risk AML, we recommend performing NeoLAB® PML-RARA Translocation, t(15;17) - Liquid Biopsy, NeoLAB® RUNX1-RUNX1T1 (AML1-ETO) Translocation, t(8;21) - Liquid Biopsy, or NeoLAB® inv(16), CBFB-MYH11 Translocation - Liquid Biopsy.
