====== Genetic panel profiling ======

There are facilities ([[public]] and [[private]]) that can perform comprehensive genetic testing (genetic panels) on tumor [[specimen]]s to characterize the above entities and more, e.g. the Genomics Research Core at the University of Pittsburgh, or FoundationOne CDx. Brain-specific profiles are also marketed, e.g. NeoTYPE Brain Tumor Profile by NeoGenomics, Fort Myers, Florida, which includes: [[ATRX]], [[BRAF]], [[EGFR]], [[IDH1]], [[IDH2]], [[MGMT]] Promoter Methylation analysis (PCR), [[PTEN]], [[TERT]] Promoter, [[TP53]], [[1p/19q co-deletion]], and many others. Cost is on the order of $2000–4000U.S., turnaround time ≈ 2 weeks.
