Test Code NGAMT MayoComplete Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Therapeutic Gene Mutation Panel (FLT3, IDH1, IDH2, TP53), Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies


Ordering Guidance


This test is a subset of the NGSHM / Myeloid Neoplasms, Comprehensive OncoHeme Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies test and focuses more specifically on the gene mutations that are most utilized for therapeutic management of acute myeloid leukemias (AML). If a wider gene mutation analysis is desired or the indication for testing is for a myeloid malignancy other than AML, then NGSHM should be considered.



Shipping Instructions


Peripheral blood and bone marrow specimens must arrive within 14 days of collection.

Clinical Information

Next-generation sequencing is a comprehensive molecular diagnostic methodology that can interrogate multiple regions of genomic tumor DNA in a single assay. Many hematologic neoplasms, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), are characterized by morphologic or phenotypic similarities but can have characteristic somatic mutations in several genes that enable a more specific categorization. In addition, many cases of AML lack a clonal cytogenetic finding at diagnosis (normal karyotype) and can be better classified according to gene mutation profile. The presence and pattern of gene mutations in AML can provide critical prognostic information and may help in guiding therapeutic management decisions by physicians, particularly if targeted therapies are available.
