Targeted Mutation Analysis for Melanoma & Colorectal Cancer
Translating NRAS Results Into Actionable Treatment
DNA GTx’s NRAS Test detects 11 clinically relevant variants located in exons 2, 3, and 4 of the NRAS gene. This precise molecular profiling aids oncologists in selecting effective therapies and managing disease progression in patients with melanoma and colorectal cancer.
Who is this Test for?
- Patients diagnosed with melanoma, colorectal cancer, or other cancers where NRAS mutations may affect treatment
- Individuals being considered for targeted therapy
- Patients needing a more detailed understanding of their tumor's genetic profile
What it Screens for
- 11 variants in exons 2, 3, and 4 of the NRAS gene
- Linked to:
- Melanoma
- Colorectal cancer
- Other solid tumors
Key Benefits
- Detects Important Mutations: Identifies NRAS variants that influence treatment options.
- Supports Personalized Therapy: Helps guide targeted treatment decisions for relevant cancers.
- Fast and Accurate: Provides timely results for effective clinical management.
- Applicable to Multiple Cancers: Relevant for melanoma, colorectal, and other tumors.

Do You Need a Doctor’s Request?
Yes. A healthcare provider must request the test and help interpret the results to guide your treatment plan.
How it Works?
Step 1: FFPE Tissue Sample Collection
- Preserved tissue sample are collected from biopsies or surgeries.
- Stored in wax blocks, these samples keep DNA intact for testing.
Step 2: DNA Extraction
- We carefully extract the DNA from the sample.
- This DNA is what we need to study your genes.
Step 3: PCR Amplification
- Specific regions of DNA are copied millions of times.
- This makes even small mutations easier to detect.
Step 4: Data Analysis
- Our proprietary software (D-KRYPT) helps us understand what the DNA changes mean.
- The results are derived from trusted medical databases.
Step 5: Personalized Patient Report
- You got a clear, easy-to-read report with important findings.
- Your doctor can use this to guide treatment or next steps.
