Testing in these examples is intended to assess the number of mutations within a tumor genome with the purpose of determining likely response to immunotherapy. Methodology used to generate the targeted next generation sequencing.

This example shows findings from an assessment of the number of mutations within a tumor genome with the purpose of determining likely response to immunotherapy. Methodology used to generate the results is whole exome or targeted panel next generation sequencing.

This example shows findings from an assessment of microsatellite instability for genetic subregions that are known to be unstable. DNA extracted from tumor tissue is amplified and the resulting amplicons are resolved using wet laboratory methodology capillary electrophoresis.
