Analytes/procedures in
bold type are regulated for proficiency testing by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
CAP accredited laboratories that perform testing for the detection of somatic single nucleotide variants, insertions, and deletions in BRAF, EGFR, and KRAS are required to enroll in either MTP or the respective single gene programs. This includes laboratories that perform NGS-based assays, non-NGS-based multiplexed assays, and nonmultiplexed assays (eg, Sanger sequencing). Laboratories that perform NGS-based testing are encouraged to also enroll in NGSST, as this proficiency testing program provides challenges with lower variant allele fractions as well as challenges in other genes commonly included in NGS-based panels for the identification of somatic variants in solid tumors.
