As a result, the UW-OncoPlex panel studies genes with mutations known to cause cancer variants for which a highly effective therapies are currently available. As of January 2013, the UW-OncoPlex panel includes 194 genes. This number will increase on a rolling basis, as the system easily scales up to accommodate new targets."
