In which formats is the Prostate Cancer Panel DNA Reference Standard available, and do they all contain the PTEN loss variant?
The Prostate Cancer Panel Reference Standard is available in FFPE format (HD848), and does not contain the PTEN loss variant (https://horizondiscovery.com/en/reference-standards/products/prostate-cancer-panel-ffpe-reference-standard?catalognumber=HD848).
The cfDNA version of the Prostate Cancer Panel Reference Standard (HD836) includes PTEN loss in the list of verified variants (https://horizondiscovery.com/en/reference-standards/products/prostate-cancer-panel-cfDNA-reference-standard?catalognumber=HD836). HD836 is accompanied by the Prostate Cancer Panel cfDNA negative control, HD837 (https://horizondiscovery.com/en/reference-standards/products/prostate-cancer-panel-cfdna-reference-standard-negative-control?catalognumber=HD837).
There is a separate FFPE reference standard available for PTEN loss specifically: the PTEN Loss FFPE Reference Standard, HD864 (https://horizondiscovery.com/en/reference-standards/products/pten-loss-ffpe-dna-reference-standard).
