Specimens referred for clinical genotyping
No. (%) | |
---|---|
Specimens referred for BRAF, HER2 and PIKC3CA mutational analysis | 427 (100) |
Specimens that did not complete genetic analysis | 83 (19) |
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) |
Specimen could not be located | 6 (1) |
Specimens successfully tested for BRAF, HER2 and PIK3CA mutations | 344 (81) |
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.
