Oncomine™ Myeloid Assay GX

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
