Additional Information

The OncoScanTM CNV Plus Assay is a whole-genome copy number and SNP microarray-based assay that enables the detection of relevant copy number variations such as copy number gain, amplification, and loss, loss of heterozygosity, copy neutral loss of heterozygosity (cnLOH), anueploidy, allele specific changes, break-point determination, mosaicism, clonal heterogeneity, and chromothripsis. This platform includes and detects a panel of 74 well-known cancer hotspot somatic mutations in 9 genes (BRAF, EGFR, IDH1, IDH2, KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA, PTEN, and TP53).
