Table 4. Comparison of currently used gene panels for tTMB calculation [30, 31] with our panel (LMB_TMB1).
Gene panel | Number of genes | Size region covered* (Mb) | TMB cut-off | Gene variants included in TMB calculation | FDA approved |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
F1CDx | 324 | 0.8 Mb | 10 mut/Mb | Somatic non-synonymous and synonymous mutations | Yes |
MSK-IMPACT | 468 | 1.14 Mb | Somatic non-synonymous mutations | Yes | |
Illumina TSO500 | 523 | 1.33 Mb | 10 mut/Mb | Somatic non-synonymous and synonymous mutations | No |
Oncomine TML | 409 | 1.22 Mb | Somatic non-synonymous mutations | No | |
QIAseq TMB | 486 | 1.33 Mb | Somatic non-synonymous mutations | No | |
LMB_TMB1 | 313 | 0.81/0.8 Mb** | 22/12 mut/Mb** | Somatic non-synonymous and synonymous mutations*** | No |
* Coding region used to estimate TMB regardless of the size of the region assessed by the panel.
** The approach for TMB calculation including HLA genes / the approach for TMB calculation excluding HLA genes.
*** Non-synonymous mutations include SNPs and short insertions and deletions (indels).
