clonoSEQ Kit Testing

Overview

  • EPIC Code:
  • Soft Test Code:
  • CLONO
Alternate Names
  • Kit Test
Clinical Significance

The clonoSEQ Assay is an in vitro diagnostic that uses multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify and quantify rearranged IgH (VDJ), IgH (DJ), IgK and IgL receptor gene sequences, as well as translocated BCL 1/IgH (J) and BCL 2/IgH (J) sequences in DNA extracted from bone marrow from patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or multiple myeloma (MM), and blood or bone marrow from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).  The clonoSEQ Assay measures minimal residual disease (MRD) to monitor changes in burden of disease during and after treatment.  The test is indicated for use by qualified healthcare professionals in accordance with professional guidelines for clinical decision-making and in conjunction with other clinicopathological features.
