NeoTYPE® DNA & RNA - Brain

The NeoTYPE® DNA & RNA – Brain Profile uses targeted next‑generation sequencing (NGS) to detect single nucleotide variants, insertions/deletions, and gene fusions across 83 unique genes (62 DNA and 28 RNA; overlapping targets included). The profile also assesses microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutational burden (TMB).

NGS – SNVs / Indels (62 genes + MSI and TMB)
Reflex rule: A microsatellite instability (MSI) NGS result of “indeterminate” will create a reflex to MSI by PCR as long as the tumor percentage is ≥40% and paired normal tissue is available.

RNA Fusions (28 genes)

FISH – CNVs (9)
1p/19q co‑deletion, +7/‑10 (trisomy 7, monosomy 10), CDKN2A (p16) deletion, EGFR amplification, MET amplification, MYCN amplification, PDGFRA amplification, PTEN deletion
(FISH is global only)

IHC (1 biomarker)
PD‑L1 LDT (tech‑only available)

Test customization:

Legacy Test information:
As of May 12, 2025, this test serves as replacement for the following test(s) that are no longer offered:
* Brain NGS Fusion Panel

Specimen Requirements

FFPE solid tumor tissue: Minimum surface area 10mm2 with 20% tumor content. Please use positively-charged slides and 10% NBF fixative. Do not use zinc fixatives. Paraffin block: Preferred. Cut slides: Send 25 unstained sections cut at 5 microns plus one H&E slide (which NeoGenomics will keep). No additional slides are needed if ordering MGMT Promoter Methylation Analysis.

Storage and Transportation

Use cold pack for transport, making sure cold pack is not in direct contact with specimen. NYS clients please provide date and time of Collection.
