Colorectal Cancers are cancers that begin in the large intestine or rectum. Research has identified numerous germline and somatic mutations in 48 genes that are linked to cancers of the colon and rectum. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) makes it possible to test the entire exonic regions of all 48 genes. … View more

Entire test performed in-house
Analytical Validity: Help
The limit of detection is 3.5% allele frequency at 500X coverage and 5% allele frequency at 200X coverage. This technology cannot reliably detect mutations at coverage below 200X. Confirmation of actionable mutations should be performed by Sanger sequencing.
