MLabs next-generation sequencing (NGS) offerings include Solid Tumor, Lung Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, and Melanoma NGS Panels. These NGS tests target 50 genes to detect substitution and insertion/deletion mutations (35 genes), gene amplifications (19 genes), and gene fusions (21 genes) including NTRK gene fusions involving NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3. The TRK inhibitor Vitrakvi® (larotrectinib) was recently FDA-approved for treatment of adult and pediatric patients with solid tumors that have a NTRK gene fusion. NGS is the most comprehensive method to identify NTRK gene fusions, particularly in cases with minimal available tissue. MLabs performs these panels using as little as <1mm tissue with a 4% QNS rate.

MLabs NGS panels not only detect NTRK gene fusions, but include many other standard of care and emerging biomarkers in solid tumors. A complete list of genes assessed for mutations, amplifications and fusions is listed below.
