Because childhood and young adult cancer is different
The types and driving genetic aberrations of these malignancies are different than those affecting the adult population, so a specifically designed, targeted but comprehensive panel is needed to advance clinical research and drive understanding and future precision oncology therapeutic solutions.
The Ion Torrent Oncomine Childhood Cancer Research Assay is a unique, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based tool designed for comprehensive genomic profiling of cancers affecting children and young adults.
Unique content for comprehensive coverage:
- Compiled by leading researchers and pediatric oncologists
- 203 unique genes including thousands of fusion drivers (and comprehensive mutation coverage)
Optimised workflow for fast results:
- End-to-end solution including informatics
- 2–3 days, depending on sample type
- Compatible with different sample types enabled including blood, bone marrow, and FFPE tissue
ICON (International Cancer Network) for collaboration:
- Free membership for every user
- Brings many benefits including access to variant database for result comparison and collaborative projects
Understanding pediatric and childhood cancers
NGS research panels for pediatric cancer and ICON
Read the latest interview with Dr. Tim Triche featured in the Pathologist
The Oncomine Childhood Cancer Research Assay is the first cancer panel designed for all forms of childhood cancer, including leukemia, brain tumors, and a diverse group of solid tumors. Of particular importance, it assays both RNA and DNA, which allows one to detect both gene fusions and DNA mutations, both of which are important in childhood cancer. I am also very excited by the establishment of the International Childhood Cancer Network (ICON), which will allow us to collect data and share experiences in order to drive clinical research in childhood cancer.

ICON—let’s work together to increase our knowledge and fight childhood cancer
As a user of the Oncomine Childhood Cancer Research Assay you will be invited, free of charge, to become a member of the ICON (International Childhood Cancer Network) established by Thermo Fisher Scientific. The aim of this organization is to connect researchers all over the world to facilitate knowledge and experience sharing, including protocols, best practices, and samples to enable rapid validation and ongoing quality assessment. Members will also have access to variant platform.
Oncomine Childhood Cancer Research workflow
The end-to-end workflow optimized for childhood cancer research enables the analysis of a variety of sample types including blood and bone marrow, fresh/frozen tissue, and FFPE tissue in 2–3 days from sample to result. Up to eight samples can be multiplexed on a single Ion 540 Chip*, allowing for flexibility in batch size.

>1700 fusion isoform variants
The content of the Oncomine Childhood Research Assay has been developed with leading scientists and pediatric oncologists. It includes a large 97-gene translocation/fusion panel (>1700 fusion isophorme variants), as fusions are relatively more common in childhood sarcomas and leukemias, but also an 82-DNA target panel with comprehensive coverage of all relevant mutations, 44 targets with full exon coverage, specifically tumor supressor genes, and 24 CNV targets.
