Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Diagnosis and management of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors

 

This test is not useful for assessment of hematologic malignancies or germline alterations.

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

This test uses targeted next-generation sequencing to evaluate for somatic alterations within the KIT (exon 2, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18) and PDGFRA (exons 12, 14, 15, 18) genes.

 

This test is performed to evaluate for somatic alterations within solid tumor samples. This test is not intended for use for hematological malignancies. Additionally, this test does not assess for germline alterations within the genes listed.
