The Illumina TruSight Oncology 500 circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) assay is an NGS-based assay that enables comprehensive genomic profiling to assess multiple variant types in 523 cancer-related genes from cell-free DNA (cfDNA). This assay features the same DNA content as the TruSight Oncology 500 solid tumour assay for detection of single nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, copy number variants (CNVs), DNA fusions, tumour mutational burden (TMB), and microsatellite instability (MSI) from plasma samples.
In addition, the DRAGEN Bio-IT Platform offers speed and accuracy to detect variants detections through its ultra-rapid variant calling algorithm.
