Performance evaluation of Sanger sequencing for the diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria and comparison with targeted next generation sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Definitive diagnosis of primary hyperoxaluria (PH) currently utilizes sequential Sanger sequencing of the AGXT, GRPHR, and HOGA1 genes but efficacy is unproven. This analysis is time-consuming, relatively expensive, and delays in diagnosis and inappropriate treatment can occur if not pursued early in the diagnostic work-up. We reviewed testing outcomes of Sanger sequencing in 200 consecutive patient samples referred for analysis. In addition, the Illumina Truseq custom amplicon system was evaluated for paralleled next-generation sequencing (NGS) of AGXT,GRHPR, and HOGA1 in 90 known PH patients. AGXT sequencing was requested in all patients, permitting a diagnosis of PH1 in 50%. All remaining patients underwent targeted exon sequencing of GRHPR and HOGA1 with 8% diagnosed with PH2 and 8% with PH3. Complete sequencing of both GRHPR and HOGA1 was not requested in 25% of patients referred leaving their diagnosis in doubt. NGS analysis showed 98% agreement with Sanger sequencing and both approaches had 100% diagnostic specificity. Diagnostic sensitivity of Sanger sequencing was 98% and for NGS it was 97%. NGS has comparable diagnostic performance to Sanger sequencing for the diagnosis of PH and, if implemented, would screen for all forms of PH simultaneously ensuring prompt diagnosis at decreased cost.

Project description:BackgroundDefects in the development of the first and second pharyngeal arches and their derivatives result in abnormal formation of the craniofacial complex, consequently giving rise to facial dysostoses (FDs). FDs represent a group of rare and highly heterogeneous disease entities that encompass mandibulofacial dysostoses (MFDs) with normal extremities and acrofacial dysostoses (AFDs) with limb anomalies in addition to craniofacial defects.MethodsWe examined 11 families with variable clinical symptoms of FDs, in most of which only one member was affected. We applied two custom gene panels-first comprising 37 genes related to the genetic disorders of craniofacial development such as FDs (On-Demand AmpliSeq Thermo Fisher Scientific gene panel with two primer pools) and second composed of 61 genes and 11 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) known to be involved in the development of skull malformations, mainly in the form of craniosynostoses (SureSelect Agilent Technologies). Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed using the Ion Torrent S5 platform. To confirm the presence of each detected variant, we have analyzed a genomic region of interest using Sanger sequencing.ResultsIn this paper, we summarized the results of custom targeted gene panel sequencing in the cohort of sixteen patients from 11 consecutive families affected by distinct forms of FDs. We have found three novel pathogenic variants in the TCOF1 gene-c.2145_2148dupAAAG p.(Ser717Lysfs ∗42), c.4370delA p.(Lys1457Argfs ∗118), c.83G>C p.(Arg28Pro) causing Treacher Collins syndrome type 1, two novel missense variants in the EFTUD2 gene-c.491A>G p.(Asp164Gly) and c.779T>A p.(Ile260Asn) in two female patients affected by acrofacial dysostosis Guion-Almeida type, one previously reported-c.403C>T (p.Arg135Cys), as well as one novel missense variant-c.128C>T p.(Pro43Leu) in the DHODH gene in the male patient with Miller syndrome and finally one known pathogenic variant c.574G>T p.(Glu192∗) in the SF3B4 gene in the patient with Nager syndrome.ConclusionOur study confirms the efficiency and clinical utility of the targeted gene panel sequencing and shows that this strategy is suitable and efficient in the molecular screening of variable forms of FDs.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To validate the targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform-Ion Torrent PGM for KRAS exon 2 and expanded RAS mutations detection in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) colorectal cancer (CRC) specimens, with comparison of Sanger sequencing and ARMS-Scorpion real-time PCR. SETTING:Beijing, China. PARTICIPANTS:51 archived FFPE CRC samples (36 men, 15 women) were retrospectively randomly selected and then checked by an experienced pathologist for sequencing based on histological confirmation of CRC and availability of sufficient tissue. METHODS:RAS mutations were detected in the 51 FFPE CRC samples by PGM analysis, Sanger sequencing and the Therascreen KRAS assay, respectively. Agreement among the 3 methods was assessed. Assay sensitivity was further determined by sequencing serially diluted DNA from FFPE cell lines with known mutation statuses. RESULTS:13 of 51 (25.5%) cases had a mutation in KRAS exon 2, as determined by PGM analysis. PGM analysis showed 100% (51/51) concordance with Sanger sequencing (?=1.000, 95% CI 1 to 1) and 98.04% (50/51) agreement with the Therascreen assay (?=0.947, 95% CI 0.844 to 1) for detecting KRAS exon 2 mutations, respectively. The only discrepant case harboured a KRAS exon 2 mutation (c.37G>T) that was not covered by the Therascreen kit. The dilution series experiment results showed that PGM was able to detect KRAS mutations at a frequency of as low as 1%. Importantly, RAS mutations other than KRAS exon 2 mutations were also detected in 10 samples by PGM. Furthermore, mutations in other CRC-related genes could be simultaneously detected in a single test by PGM. CONCLUSIONS:The targeted NGS platform is specific and sensitive for KRAS exon 2 mutation detection and is appropriate for use in routine clinical testing. Moreover, it is sample saving and cost-efficient and time-efficient, and has great potential for clinical application to expand testing to include mutations in RAS and other CRC-related genes.
