Improving Mutation Screening in Patients with Colorectal Cancer Predisposition Using Next-Generation Sequencing

Identification of genetic alterations is important for family risk assessment in colorectal cancers. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies provide useful tools for single-nucleotide and copy number variation (CNV) identification in many genes and samples simultaneously. Herein, we present the validation of current Multiplicom MASTR designs of mismatch repair combined to familial adenomatous polyposis genes in a single PCR reamplification test for eight DNA samples simultaneously on a MiSeq apparatus.
