5

PML-RARA mutation in AML/APL patients

Real time PCR

Blood/ Bone marrow

Diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) / residual or recurrent APL /Monitoring the level of promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor alpha (PML/RARA) in APL patients

6

Imatinib Resistant mutation analysis in CML

Real time PCR

Blood

Identify the pattern of mutations, so that second line tyrosine kinase inhibitors’ response may be studied with respect to these mutations and new drugs can be designed concentrating on the most common mutations.

7

Microsatellite instability testing in colorectal cancer

Real Time PCR

Tissue/ Blood

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a molecular hallmark for certain colorectal cancers (CRCs) in which short tandem repeats are prone to mutations.

8

Renal cell Carcinoma (RCC)

PCR In- house

Blood

Confirmation of four major Autosomal dominantly inherited pathogenic germ line leading to RCC

9

Lung cancer -EGFR (18,19,20,21 exon mutation)

PCR In- house

Blood

Overexpression and oncogenic mutations that constitutively activate the TK domain of EGFR have been found in various solid tumors. The test helps in detection of mutation that leads to lung cancer

10

Colon Cancer KRAS (codon 12, 13 mutation)

PCR In- house

Blood

KRAS mutations have been commonly found in several types of human malignancies, such as metastatic colon cancer (mCRC), lung adenocarcinoma and thyroid cancer. The most common mutations are found in codons 12 and 13 of KRAS.

11

Colorectal Cancer KRAS(exon 4), NRAS (exon 2, 3)

PCR In- house

Blood

Detection of KRAS, NRAS mutations will help in Treatment decision-making in colorectal cancer

12

Bone marrow disorder (JAK 2 mutation)

PCR In- house

Blood

Mutations in JAK2 that are associated with bone marrow disorders caused by the production of too many blood cells

13

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)

PCR In- house

Blood

 

Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant syndrome that leads to tumor development in parathyroid, pancreatic and pituitary glands. Genetic analysis will help in early treatment.
