Ordering Recommendation

Use upon initial diagnosis or overt relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) to rapidly assess for clinically actionable mutations, including substitutions and smaller insertions and deletions, in select regions of targeted genes that may have prognostic and/or therapeutic significance in AML. For subsequent or more comprehensive analyses, refer to Myeloid Malignancies Mutation and Copy Number Variation Panel by Next Generation Sequencing (3016621). This test is NOT intended to detect minimal residual disease (MRD).

Note

The following regions are targeted to detect clinically relevant hotspot mutations, unless otherwise indicated: CEBPA* (NM_004364) exon 1; FLT3 (NM_004119) exons 14, 15, 16, 20; IDH1 (NM_005896) exon 4; IDH2 (NM_002168) exon 4; KIT (NM_000222) exons 8, 9, 10, 11, 17; KRAS (NM_004985) exons 2, 3, 4; NPM1 (NM_002520) exon 11; NRAS (NM_002524) exons 2, 3, 4; TP53*(NM_000546) all coding exons

*CEBPA and TP53 are fully covered; any clinically relevant or potentially relevant variants will be reported. More information about the targeted regions of this test is included in the Additional Technical Information.
