Result InterpretationSee Report This NGS assay is qualitative and is not intended to detect minimal residual disease or for the detection of germline mutations. The assay will detect SNVs and InDels with a variant allele frequency (VAF) greater than 5% but has limited detection of VAFs between 3% and 5%. Copy number gains below 5 will not be detected, particularly in samples with tumor content below 50%. In addition, large insertions or deletions, or mutations in regions with low sequencing coverage or repetitive sequences might not be detected. Therefore, a negative result does not rule out the presence of mutations; thus, clinical, morphological, and immunophenotypic data should always be considered in conjunction with the genomic findings from this assay. |
