The scheme is designed to assess the entire diagnostic pipeline of a laboratory, including sample receipt and processing, analytical processing (genotyping), and reporting (biological and clinical interpretation of the test result) in the context of a clinical referral, as well as reporting clarity, content and clerical accuracy.
Three mock clinical cases with matching samples, 3ml artificial / synthetic plasma is provided per case. Approximately, 240ng DNA per sample is provided. Complete information will be available in scheme instructions.
Participants will receive an individual report including educational advice and a scheme report which includes additional information from the cohort of participants including geographical spread, methodologies employed, common errors, learning points and scheme statistics allowing participants to benchmark their results.
Each laboratory will also receive a single certificate listing all EQAs participated in with performance result for each year.
Participants are expected to test samples according to their routine strategy, to return a clinical report with interpretation of results in the context of targeted PARP inhibitor treatment for the tumour type, and to complete the data collection form.
