This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0538U only for PredicineATLAS鈩� Assay from Predicine Inc. This test for solid tumors analyzes DNA from tumor tissue that has been preserved in formalin and embedded in paraffin. The test examines 600 genes using next鈥揼eneration sequencing (NGS) to detect different types of genetic changes, including single鈥搉ucleotide variants, insertions/deletions, gene rearrangements, and copy number alterations. It also assesses microsatellite instability (MSI) and tumor mutation burden (TMB), providing valuable information for determining actionable variants that may influence treatment options.
