Overview

TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA v2 is a pan-cancer NGS assay that enables in-house comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood plasma for research. 

  • Leverage low cfDNA inputs (20 ng) from minimally invasive blood samples to achieve sensitive and accurate detection (0.2% VAF for SNVs) using UMI-based hybrid-capture library prep and deep sequencing.

  • Target 523 genes to assess DNA variants across major variant classes (SNV, MNV, indels, CNV, and gene rearrangements), plus key immuno-oncology gene signatures (TMB, MSI)

  • Expansion to NovaSeq X Series offers transformative economics, faster sequencing run times by close to 40% and broader batch sizes (4-48 samples)

  • Streamlined workflow with advanced chemistry and automation-friendly kits and method enables a single-day library prep plus enrichment and total turnaround time of 3-4 days.

  • DRAGEN secondary analysis powers a rapid variant calling algorithm on-premises or in the cloud with Illumina Connected Analytics. Access insights using integrated reporting with Illumina Connected Insights* or Velsera.

*Not available in all countries. Illumina Connected Insights supports user-defined tertiary analysis through API calls to third-party knowledge sources.

Figures

Small nucleotide variant detection at low VAF

Synthetic control samples with known variant allele frequency (VAF) for each single nucleotide variant were diluted to values ranging from 0.20%–0.50% VAF and analyzed by TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA v2.

 

Indel detection at low VAF

Synthetic control samples with known VAF for each insertion or deletion were diluted to values ranging from 0.20%–0.50% VAF and analyzed by TruSight Oncology 500 ctDNA v2.

 

High TMB correlation compared to tumor-normal calling

Tumor-only workflow of TSO 500 ctDNA v2 utilizing advanced bioinformatics for germline and CH variant filtering produces highly concordant bTMB compared to a tumor-normal workflow.

 

Sensitive MSI detection for immuno-oncology research

Microsatellite instability (MSI) was evaluated in 3 cell lines with known MSI-high status (samples 1–3) and detected down to 0.3% tumor fraction assessing up to ~2300 homopolymer sites.

 

Analytical performance for CNVs, LOD ≥1.3 fold for amplifications and ≤0.6 for deletions​

Lower relative MYC detection due to limit of detection approached faster due to fewer starting copies.​ Illumina data on file, 2023.

 

Analytical performance for gene rearrangements with detection at LOD (0.5%)​

VAF calculated by dividing the total number of supporting reads by the higher depth of the two sides of the breakpoint. Illumina data on file, 2023.
