Cut through the noise with a matched tumor-normal approach

A major limitation of tumor-only sequencing is its inability to distinguish germline versus somatic mutations2. A study showed that a tumor-only approach could not definitively identify germline changes, resulting in false positives comprising up to one third of alterations detected, including in potentially actionable genes3. Having an accurate picture of a tumor’s molecular make up is crucial for informed decision-making.

MSK-IMPACT® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ streamlines results with a matched-normal approach, allowing you to detect tumor-specific somatic variants with certainty and clearly distinguish from germline mutations associated with cancer-risk.

Trust your data

Exceptional analytical performance4

In an end-to-end comparison of 167 FFPE + matched white blood cell DNA samples, MSK-IMPACT® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ achieved high analytical concordance with the centralized version used at MSK.

OPA, overall percent agreement; PPA, positive percent agreement. Concordance based on analysis between decentralized MSK-IMPACT® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ and single-site MSK-IMPACT® using 167 FFPE and matched WBC gDNA samples. Limit of detection analysis based on analysis with MSK-IMPACT® powered with SOPHiA DDM™ using 216 reference samples. Analytical assessment of RUO products.

Access curated insights with OncoKB™

Enhance your somatic mutation interpretation capabilities with curated, evidence-based information offered by MSK’s Precision Oncology Knowledge Base, OncoKB™. Easily accessed via a gene-level link-out, OncoKB™ further enhances the interpretive power of SOPHiA DDM™ analysis through rich, data-driven insights.
