Additionally, it includes 38 hot fusion intron regions and 15 classic microsatellite loci. It can detect mutation types like point mutations, fusions, copy number variations, and insertions/deletions all at once, and conduct analyses of tumor mutational burden (TMB) and microsatellite instability (MSI). It can provide references for targeted cancer therapy, immunotherapy, and the prediction of the risk of hereditary tumors.

TargetSeq® Solid Tumor Fusion RNA Panel - This product covers the coding regions of the transcripts of 298 common fusion master genes related to solid tumors and the UTR regions of some genes. It supports the detection of fusions, variations, and gene expression information at the RNA level, providing clinical references for tumor diagnosis and classification, prognosis assessment, and recurrence monitoring.

Unique and Striving for Excellence

AIExome® Human Exome Panel V3 Tumor Panel - On the basis of the core version of AIExome® V3, the probe coverage density of 641 tumor-related genes (especially mutation hotspots) is increased. Additionally, 38 intronic regions of hotspot fusion genes, 15 microsatellite instability regions, and parts of the HLA are added, comprehensively meeting the requirements of whole-exome sequencing in tumor application scenarios.

TargetSeq® HRD Panel - Developed by iGeneTech based on the genetic background and efficacy data of the Chinese population, this panel effectively covers approximately 37,000 SNP loci across the entire genome. It determines the HRD status of patients through the scoring of genomic instability indicators (LOH, TAI, and LST).

TargetSeq® HRR Panel - iGeneTech developed this panel by referring to the NCCN Guidelines, clinical trials of drugs such as olaparib, and reports in authoritative journals like The Lancet. It focuses on 39 core genes in the HRR pathway, including BRCA1, BRCA2, and ATM, and is used to detect various mutation types, such as point mutations, insertions/deletions, and amplifications.

TargetSeq® HRD & HRR Panel - This product can simultaneously detect gene mutations in the HRR pathway. Combining with iGeneTech's self-developed HRD algorithm, it calculates instability indicators (LOH, TAI, and LST) for scoring to determine the HRD status of patients. Moreover, in the final capture data, the effective depth ratio of HRR to HRD can reach 4:1. This not only significantly reduces the sequencing cost of co-detection but also provides a basis for clinically comprehensive and effective screening of patients who may benefit from platinum/PARP inhibitor drugs.

 

Focused and Pragmatically Innovative

MultipSeq® BRCA1/2 Research Assay V2 - This product covers the exonic regions of the BRCA1/2 genes and loci in important non - exonic regions from the ClinVar database. It can detect point mutations and insertions/deletions related to these genes, and is suitable for the diagnosis, screening, and risk assessment of hereditary breast cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. 

MultipSeq® FLT3 - ITD Primer Pool - The FLT3 - ITD mutation is one of the common pathogenic mutations in AML and is of great significance in the prognosis of hematological malignancies and guiding targeted therapy. Based on multiplex amplicon sequencing technology and a unique primer design, the entire region from intron 13 to exon 15 is included in the target area. By random amplification, the detection sensitivity is improved to accurately detect known and unknown ITD mutations occurring in exons 14 - 15. 

MultipSeq® TP53 Primer Pool - As an important tumor suppressor gene in the human body, TP53 can not only prevent the division of tumor cells and induce apoptosis of tumor cells but also repair damaged normal DNA. By detecting the TP53 genotype, the genetic status of individual tumors can be evaluated, guiding plans can be provided, and the probability of cancer occurrence can be reduced. Therefore, this product is designed for the CDS region of the TP53 gene. Based on multiplex amplicon sequencing technology, it can efficiently and conveniently detect TP53 gene mutations through NGS. 

MultipSeq® BCR - ABL1 Primer Pool - Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become an important part of the first - line treatment for CML. However, some patients still develop primary or secondary drug resistance, and mutations in the BCR - ABL1 kinase region are the main mechanism of resistance. Currently, guidelines such as ELN and NCCN recommend mutation detection when CML patients show sub - optimal efficacy or treatment failure. In response, iGeneTech focuses on the 709 - 1657 region of the fused ABL1 NM_005157.6. Based on multiplex amplicon sequencing technology, it can efficiently and sensitively detect variations in the BCR - ABL1 kinase region through NGS. 

TargetSeq® Lymphoma SV Panel - In high - grade B - cell lymphomas, rearrangements between genes such as MYC, BCL2, or BCL6 and the super - enhancer (IGH) are relatively common. Although these structural variations do not form specific fusion proteins, the abnormal chromosomal structure leads to over - expression/amplification of proto - oncogenes, resulting in a special subgroup with high aggressiveness and poor prognosis. This product uses probe capture to replace the traditional FISH method, covering the IGH class - switch regions involved in common structural variations and densely covering the MTC regions of genes such as MYC, BCL2, and BCL6, providing a basis for clinical targeted molecular typing and prognosis detection.

 

Innovation and Excellence

Tumor-informed MRD Research Kit - Based on Tumor-informed assays, combined with the self-developed hybridization capture system and the synthesis of high-throughput MRD Panel, a complete set of MRD hybridization capture reagents including hybridization capture reagents, blocking sequences, and capture magnetic beads is launched. Combined with the free customized MRD Panel, it forms a cost-effective and highly stable MRD detection solution, promoting the popularization of the clinical application of MRD detection.

TargetSeq® Pan-Cancer DNA+RNA Research Assay - In response to the demand for dual detection of DNA and RNA in solid tumors, it is comprehensively equipped with DNA and RNA sample library preparation reagents, hybridization capture reagents, and pan-cancer DNA+RNA probes. It can detect mutation types such as mutations, copy number amplifications, insertions/deletions, and fusions at the DNA level. At the same time, it can conduct auxiliary verification of fusion mutations and exon skipping at the RNA level. Through the dual detection of DNA and RNA, it helps with accurate fusion detection, supports clinical decision-making, and benefits patients.
