Insufficient tumor material for genotyping; testing not performed* 34 (8)
Insufficient tumor material for conclusive results; testing performed 22 (5)
Failed PCR amplification 15 (4)
Incomplete testing at all predefined exons of BRAF, HER2 and/or PIK3CA 6 (1)

*

Insufficient tumor material for genotyping identified during pathology pre-review.

Twenty-two specimens were found to be wild-type for BRAF, HER2, and PIK3CA but were classified as inconclusive because there was less than 50% malignant tissue in the specimen.
