Test Code NGAML Next-Generation Sequencing, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, 11-Gene Panel, Varies
Additional Codes
RUNX1
Useful For
Evaluation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using a focused 11-gene panel at the time of diagnosis or possibly at relapsed/refractory disease, to assist in appropriate classification, prognosis, and therapeutic management of patients
Evaluation to determine if a different gene mutation profile is present at the time of AML relapse
Testing Algorithm
See Targeted Genes Interrogated by Next-Generation Sequencing, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, 11-Gene Panel in Special Instructions for a list of the genes and exons targeted by this assay.
Special Instructions
Method Name
Somatic Mutation Detection by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), Hematologic Neoplasms
Reporting Name
Next Gen Sequencing, AML, 11 GeneSpecimen Type
VariesAdvisory Information
This test is a subset of the NGSHM / OncoHeme Next-Generation Sequencing for Myeloid Neoplasms test and focuses more specifically on the gene mutations that are most prevalent and clinically significant in acute myeloid leukemias (AML). If a wider gene mutation analysis is desired, or the indication is for a myeloid malignancy other than AML, then NGSHM / OncoHeme Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), Hematologic Neoplasms should be considered.
Shipping Instructions
Bone marrow and peripheral blood specimens must arrive within 14 days of collection.
