Transitioning CLL FISH analysis into the molecular biomarker era

Dr. Tracy Tucker, PhD, FCCMG

Clinical Cytogeneticist and Molecular Geneticist, Cancer Genetics and Genomics Laboratory, BC Cancer, British Columbia, Canada & Clinical Associate Professor, University of British Columbia, British Columbia, Canada

Dr Tucker runs the molecular genetics rotation for UBC pathology residents and has an interest in education as well as trouble-shooting molecular assays for clinical application.

In this presentation, Dr. Tucker shares her experience of how OGT’s NGS panel, SureSeq™ CLL + CNV, has streamlined her laboratory workflow and enabled the detection of various aberrations in key genes implicated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression, including single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), indels, and copy number variants (CNVs). This alleviates the burden of running multiple assays and delivers comprehensive results with a single NGS analysis.
