🧬 Oncomine™ Myeloid Assay GX

🧪 Pathology is in our DNA

Innovative technology now enables simultaneous investigation of various myeloid malignancies in one streamlined approach. The Oncomine™ Myeloid Assay GX uses a highly automated workflow for fast, accurate, and cost-effective testing.

What is it?

The Oncomine™ Myeloid Assay GX is a Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) solution that detects:

  • 🧬 All clinically relevant myeloid genetic biomarkers
  • 🧬 Mutations and fusions
  • ✅ All in one comprehensive assay

🌟 Key Advantages

  • 🔍 Comprehensive Testing
    Detects mutations in 53 genes (DNA) and 30 fusions (RNA)
  • 🎯 High Accuracy
    Outperforms FISH by detecting a broader range of gene rearrangements with greater sensitivity
  • ⏱️ Fast Turnaround
    Genexus’ automated workflow delivers results quickly without compromising quality
  • 💸 Cost-Effective
    One assay covers all clinically actionable genes and fusions

🧫 Sample Requirements

  • 🧪 1 EDTA tube with ≥2ml bone marrow aspirate or peripheral blood
  • 🚚 Must reach the lab within 72 hours for RNA extraction

⚠️ Limitations

  • ❌ Does not detect copy number variations (e.g., trisomies/monosomies) or large structural deletions

📝 How to Request

  • Use mnemonic: OMAGEN
  • For DNA/RNA extraction on hold: OMAHOLD only

💡 Why Choose OMAGEN?

  • ⏱️ Faster results
  • 📊 Informative
  • 🎯 Highly accurate
  • 💰 Cost-effective
