Merlin Faqs
SkylineDx is a molecular diagnostics company that provides actionable personalized information for improved treatment decisions and patient outcomes in oncology, inflammatory, and infectious diseases.
Merlin is a genomic test developed by SkylineDx together with the Mayo Clinic to assess the risk of cutaneous melanoma spreading or recurring by incorporating patient’s age, tumor thickness, and genes directly linked to melanoma and its potential to metastasize.
Your healthcare provider can fill out and fax or email the Test Requisition Form to SkylineDx from our “Order a Test” webpage.
The Merlin test is one of the most recently launched molecular diagnostic test for cutaneous melanoma, so your healthcare provider may not know about it.
