Diagnostic Tumor
Genome Analysis (Next-Generation Sequencing, NGS)
Related Information (german)
Molecular Diagnostics using resections, biopsies, or cytological smears. The analysis includes the detection of mutations using DNA and/or translocations (rearrangements / fusiontranscripts) using RNA. NGS allows the analysis of multiple genes in parallel and is a multiplex-PCR similar to Sanger Sequencing. The detection of translocations by NGS is similar to fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH).
The majority of the analyses can be performed using either fixed or fresh material (i.e., FFPE, EDTA-blood, frozen tissue, FNP, unfixed tissue (Direction PDF).
