Rigorous testing for results you can trust

The OncoExTra® test is validated to profile tumor DNA and RNA for actionable variants, thus providing all-encompassing insights that can affect treatment guidance.

Analyze all protein-coding genes. All in a single test.

Traditional profiling methods examine only small, fixed panels, leaving unknowns in treatment decisions. Using whole-exome, whole-transcriptome sequencing across nearly 20,000 genes, the OncoExTra test ensures that all possible protein-coding genes are sequenced and evaluated for actionable variants.*,1

Sequencing that isolates what’s important

Every person has unique genetic variants in their DNA. Patient-matched tumor-normal sequencing is the process of identifying those normal germline DNA variants in a patient’s blood sample, and then subtracting them from those found in the tumor sample to isolate only somatic, actionable variants.2 Germline subtraction using patient-matched tumor-normal sequencing helps to:
Limit false positives by ruling out benign variants in a patient’s tumor sample1
Identify the actionable somatic variants most likely to respond to therapy1
Reduce the overestimation of tumor mutational burden (TMB)1,2
