NGS

Current methods for BRCA1/BRCA2 molecular analysis

Current Methods for BRCA1/BRCA2 molecular analysis BRCA testing is commonly performed by direct Sanger sequencing. This method is considered the ‘gold standard’ of DNA sequencing. It is technologically reliable, widely available, and has a relatively simple workflow. The drawbacks of Sanger sequencing are: • limited throughput • lower cost-effectiveness compared to next-generation sequencing (NGS) •

NGS for dummies

Few simple words to explain NGS After years of Sanger sequencing being adopted as the gold standard in molecular diagnostics, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is about to finally an completely take over. NGS is also known as high-throughput sequencing (high yield sequencing) as it allows to sequence many fragments in parallel (which is impossible by traditional Sanger sequencing). There

Tuberous sclerosis: catching mosaicism and intronic mutations

Recommended testing at Breda Genetics for this condition (also to test for mosaicism): Tuberous sclerosis (TSC1, TSC2) If negative: MLPA analysis (TSC1, TSC2 gene). If negative: Exonic ultra-deep sequencing (600x) and SNaPshot analysis Summary Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), also called Bourneville syndrome, is a multisystem disorder with variable expressivity characterized by hamartomas in multiple organ
