The NewGene laboratory has received UKAS accreditation to ISO 15189 Medical Laboratories for the following tests:

Molecular Pathology

• BRAF targeted mutation detection (colorectal cancer, hairy cell leukaemia and melanoma)
• EGFR targeted mutation detection (non-small-cell lung cancer)
• RAS targeted mutation detection in colorectal tumours including KRAS and NRAS genes

Molecular Haematology

• BCR-ABL monitoring in chronic myeloid leukaemia
• cKIT targeted mutation analysis (mastocytosis and acute myeloid leukaemia)
• JAK2, MPL and calreticulin targeted mutation detection in myeloproliferative neoplasms
• TPMT genotyping

Molecular Genetics

• Breast cancer: Full gene sequencing of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
• Noonan spectrum disorders: Full gene sequencing for the following genes - PTPN11, SPRED1, KRAS, SOS1, RAF1, NRAS, BRAF, SHOC2 (exon 1 only), MAP2K1, MAP2K2, HRAS, CBL , NF1, RIT1 and A2ML1
