Signature STb O — The monitoring-ready baseline.

118 genes. A simple blood draw. The gateway to continuous monitoring.

Signature STb O widens the lens to 118 genes from the same simple blood draw. It is the balanced middle tier: broad enough to capture the great majority of clinically-relevant alterations and the immune-related markers, and — crucially — broad enough to serve as the molecular baseline for continuous Sentinel monitoring.

118 Genes Sentinel-Ready Liquid Biopsy

The balanced middle tier

Broad enough for reliable TMB and copy-number read, and the fingerprint that Sentinel draws are compared against.

  • 118 genes: Actionable drivers, fusions, and immune markers
  • Sentinel gateway: Establishes the baseline for continuous monitoring
  • Full immune profile: TMB, MSI and MMR — analytically robust
  • PGx panel: 35-gene pharmacogenomics & drug-response profile
  • Blueprint Care: Ranked decision, signed by KPCIRC
Why 118 Genes

The sweet spot for most solid tumours.

118 genes is the natural choice when you want more than urgent triage but do not yet need the fullest comprehensive profile.

Covers Actionable Drivers

Captures the great majority of clinically-relevant alterations and fusions across solid tumours.

Reliable TMB & CNV Read

Broad enough for a reliable Tumour Mutational Burden and copy-number read — essential for immunotherapy and treatment planning.

Sentinel Baseline

Establishes the molecular fingerprint that later Sentinel draws are compared against. A 33-gene panel is too narrow for this.

What It Includes

Complete. Balanced. Monitoring-ready.

Everything you need for a broad baseline — with the immune and PGx profile baked in.

SNVs, InDels & Fusions

Across 118 genes — capturing the great majority of clinically-relevant alterations and fusions.

Full Immune Profile

TMB, MSI and MMR — the full set, analytically robust at this breadth.

Copy-Number & Mutational Signatures

Analytically robust at 118 genes, supporting broader treatment and trial matching.

Pharmacogenomics (PGx)

The 35-gene panel — how you may metabolise and react to key cancer drugs.

Tumour-Fraction Estimate

How much tumour DNA was present — so results are read in context.

Decoder · TMB, MSI & MMR (immune-related genomic markers)
TMB (Tumour Mutational Burden) counts how many mutations a tumour carries. A high count often means the immune system can recognise it — a signal that immunotherapy may help. A reliable TMB needs a broad panel of genes to measure accurately.
MSI (Microsatellite Instability) and MMR (Mismatch-Repair status) describe whether the tumour's DNA-proofreading machinery is broken. When it is (MSI-high / deficient MMR), the tumour accumulates mutations and frequently responds well to immunotherapy.
The Sentinel Gateway

This is the baseline Sentinel needs.

Continuous monitoring only works if there is a molecular fingerprint to track. Signature STb O establishes that fingerprint.

Once you have Signature STb O, Sentinel (Track) can follow your cancer over time on the same 118-gene breadth — watching treatment work and flagging resistance early.

A 33-gene panel is too narrow to serve as this baseline. The 118-gene breadth gives Sentinel the robust fingerprint it needs to detect meaningful changes in your cancer's molecular profile.

Sentinel Continuous Monitoring

Serial blood tests track your cancer in real-time — catching resistance or recurrence months before a scan would.

Deliverables

From result to action plan.

The 118-gene result flows into Blueprint Care: a ranked decision, contraindications, trial matches, biosimilar options, resistance and monitoring plan, and access pathway — all signed by KPCIRC.

Who It's For

Is Signature STb O right for you?

Two clear reasons to choose the 118-gene baseline.

You want a broad, monitoring-ready profile

You need more than urgent triage (33 genes) but do not yet need the fullest comprehensive profile (CGP). 118 genes gives you the breadth for confident treatment decisions and immune profiling.

You anticipate ongoing surveillance

You want to establish a Sentinel baseline now — so you can track your cancer over time and catch resistance early. This is the gateway to continuous monitoring.

Terminology & Transparency

The words you will see, in plain language.

Decoder · The words you will see, in plain language
ctDNA Circulating tumour DNA — tumour DNA fragments in the blood that a liquid biopsy reads.
SNV / InDel A single-letter DNA change, or a small insertion/deletion — the commonest driver mutations.
Fusion Two genes joined abnormally, creating a driver that is often highly treatable.
CNV Copy-number variation — extra or missing copies of a gene.
TMB Tumour mutational burden — how many mutations a tumour carries; can point toward immunotherapy.
MSI / MMR Signals of faulty DNA repair; often predict immunotherapy response.
PGx Pharmacogenomics — how your genes affect the way you handle specific drugs.
Tumour fraction How much of the blood DNA came from the tumour — the context a result is read in.

Important information about this test

Signature STb O is a genomic (DNA-based) test offered for use by qualified healthcare professionals. It is intended to support — not replace — clinical judgement, and must be interpreted alongside your full clinical history, other investigations, and applicable guidelines.

  • • A result is not a diagnosis and does not by itself decide treatment.
  • • A "not detected" or normal result does not rule out cancer or a genetic change.
  • • Not all cancers release enough DNA into blood to be detected.
  • • The test does not guarantee access to any medicine, its regulatory approval, insurance cover, or that a therapy will work.
  • • Sample-collection kits are for use by qualified phlebotomists only — not for self-testing or self-sampling.
  • • Confirmatory testing may be required.

Regulatory status (India). OnKommon's registration of its genomic tests as in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical devices with the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) is in progress (IVD class pending). Sequencing and variant calling are performed by an accredited laboratory partner (College of American Pathologists — CAP-accredited; ISO 15189) following international guidelines (ACMG/AMP/ASCO/CAP) using a CE-IVD certified variant database. The OnKommon interpretation engine is provided for research and decision-support use.
