The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus, available on the Ion Torrent Genexus System and Ion GeneStudio S5 System, offers a complete, end-to-end comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) solution. The assay detects a broad range of genomic alterations from 517 genes, including single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), insertions and deletions (indels), copy number variations (CNVs), and fusions.
Additionally, the assay detects genomic signatures such as homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), tumor mutational burden (TMB), and microsatellite instability (MSI). Leveraging proven Ion Torrent technology, the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus delivers a complete, easy, fast, and robust solution to help you meet your laboratory research needs, even at varying levels of next-generation sequencing (NGS) expertise.

Retrospective multicenter study evaluating the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus on a cohort of ovarian cancer research samples supporting good overall concordance with the reference for BRCA1/2, genomic instability, and HRD.
Analytical validation of GIM in ovarian cancer research samples at Tuebingen University with known reference standards and how to assess borderline cases when evaluating continuous variables.
A multicenter evaluation of the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus run on the Ion GeneStudio S5 systems was performed using a cohort of pan-cancer research samples from more than 13 different tumor types.
The 193 pan-cancer research samples (125 DNA and 68 RNA samples) were analyzed to evaluate concordance of the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus with orthogonal methods (Figure 1). A high overall sequencing success rate of ~94% for DNA and RNA was achieved despite some samples only have 10-20% tumor cell content.1

of the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus.
The overall concordance between the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus and orthogonal methods was 94.8% for SNVs and indels, 96.5% for CNVs, and 94.2% for fusions. The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus also demonstrated high concordance with orthogonal methods for the detection of HRD, TMB, and MSI genomic signatures.
Based on this study, the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus demonstrated excellent analytical performance as part of a sensitive and specific platform for CGP. Additionally, the Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus demonstrated a high level of reproducibility on replicate samples across the laboratories which highlights the potential of the assay to advance research in the field of personalized medicine.
| Genomic alteration or signature | Samples (n) | Concordance (%) |
| SNV/indels | 290 | 94.8 |
| CNVs | 57 | 96.5 |
| Fusions | 52 | 94.2 |
| HRD | 18 | 100 |
| TMB | 32 | 81.3 |
| MSI (pan-cancer/colorectal cancer) | 26/10 | 80.8/100 |
The Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus detects mutations in 47 genes associated with homologous recombination repair (HRR), including large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) in BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are known causes of HRD. In addition, the consequences of HRD are measured using a genomic instability metric (GIM).
The GIM is a numeric value between 0 and 100 that summarizes the unbalanced copy number changes across the autosomes resulting from HRD. Higher GIM values correlate with more genomic instability.
In a retrospective multicenter study of n=100 stage III–IV ovarian cancer research samples from the MITO16/MaNGO-OV2 clinical study, HRD status was determined based on the presence of pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 in combination with GIM using a predefined threshold of ≥16 to define a high GIM.2
Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus run on the Ion GeneStudio S5 Systems had good overall concordance with various orthogonal methods for HRD assessment in ovarian cancer research samples.
