DNA methylation profiling & classifier of brain tumors - SDL

Test Information

Name: DNA methylation profiling & classifier of brain tumors

Code: N4576-AN

Sample Type: FFPE

Turnaround Time (TAT): 50 days

Preparation & Notes

20 unstained slides FFPE (80% tumor content ), freshly cut Methylation classifier in brain tumor classification is to accurately classify tumors based on their methylation profiles, The methylation classifier can be used to perform classification on tumor samples with diagnostic difficulties due to ambiguous histology or mismatch between histopathology and molecular signatures, i.e., not otherwise specified (NOS) cases or not elsewhere classified (NEC) cases, aiding in pathological decision-making using DKFZ Methylation Classifier. Classification using methylation profiling is a research tool under development; it is not verified and has not been clinically validated. Implementation of the results in a clinical setting is in the sole responsibility of the treating physician.Technology: MicroArray
