FFPE solid tumor tissue: Paraffin block is preferred. Alternatively, send 1 H&E slide plus 5-10 unstained slides cut at 5 or more microns. Please use positively-charged slides and 10% NBF fixative. Do not use zinc fixatives.
Peripheral blood: 5 mL in EDTA tube.
Bone marrow: 2 mL in EDTA tube.

Note: Test is DNA-based.  Please select Extract & Hold - DNA if specimen hold service is desired.

Orderable Test Description
BRAF Mutation Analysis Assay is based on PCR amplification and detection of target DNA using complementary primer pairs and oligonucleotide probes labeled with fluorsescent dyes. This assay is designed to detect V600 mutations E, K, D, R, and G. For solid tumors, tumor enrichment is performed before extraction. Expanded coverage for BRAF exons 11 & 15 is available in the RAS/RAF Panel. Testing is available separately or in combination with HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS in the RAS/RAF Panel.

Meta Description
Bi-directional sequencing of exon 15 of the BRAF gene, which includes qualitative detection of V600 mutations E, K, D, and others, plus other significant exon 15 mutations.
Extra Note

Please select extract & hold - DNA if specimen hold service is desired. 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.
