View the tumor mutational burden statistics
The tumor mutational burden value is calculated automatically when you launch select Oncomine™ analysis workflows, such as analysis workflows for Oncomine™ Comprehensive Assay Plus, DNA or Oncomine™ Tumor Mutation Load Assay. You can download the tumor mutational burden statistics to view more details of the analysis, such as the TMB algorithm version that is used, and information about how the tumor mutational burden is calculated.
Note: Refer to the assay user guide to determine whether the tumor mutational burden value can be calculated for a specific assay.

In the RESULTS folder, open the statistic.txt file in a compatible text editor. The tumor mutational burden and the data that are used to calculate its value are listed.
In this example, the tumor mutational burden value is calculated from the values for Total Exonic Bases with Sufficient Depth of Base Coverage, and Total Somatic Filtered Variants Count (numerator for TMB calculation). TMB Standardization is off by default, that is, 0.0TMB Standardization='Not Applied'. Observed TMB score was set to 25, which is below the calibration threshold, so that the germline calibration was also not applied. That is Germline Calibration='Not Applied'.
