No

MTAP is not included.

MTAP is not listed among the genes checked by the tests offered on the My CANcer Code order form.

## Evidence reviewed

- My CANcer Code order formReviewed
- OncoHelix testing catalogueReviewed

Why this is the answerThe testing details and program scope. 

We checked the My CANcer Code order form. It offers two tests: OncoHelix-3, which uses a tumour sample, and OncoHelix-4, which uses a blood sample. Neither test lists MTAP.

We also checked OncoHelix's website. It lists MTAP under a different test called OncoHelix-1\. That test does not appear on the program's order form.

**Verification**

Prepared by: Christopher Cutler, The Heather Cutler Foundation.

Independently reviewed by: none — verified by the preparer against the cited documents before publication.

Verification date: October 31, 2026.

Applicable jurisdiction: Canada (the My CANcer Code program) — verified against the Newfoundland and Labrador order form.

Important considerationsKnow the limitations and key details. 

The form we checked is for Newfoundland and Labrador and was approved on April 16, 2026\. We still need to confirm whether the same tests are offered across Canada and whether MTAP testing can be added separately.
