Variant detection of multiple genes from a single tumor sample requires high-throughput molecular testing. To meet this demand, targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels are useful in clinical settings for accurate tumor profiling and the identification of essential molecular aberrations for personalized therapies. By focusing only on a subset of genes, targeted NGS is not only a cost-effective solution, but can rapidly deliver insights into a tumor molecular profile.

To address this challenge, a clinical research team led by Dr. Michela Bulfoni at the Istituto di Anatomia Patologica designed custom NGS panels, named “Glioma” and “Routine Diagnostics”, targeting single nucleotide variations, insertions/deletions, fusions, and copy number variations of tumor-associated essential genes.

In this webinar, attendees will:
- Understand the clinical utility of custom-designed NGS panels for accurate tumour diagnosis
- Learn about the design and application of these NGS panels
- Gain insights into the cost-effectiveness and high sensitivity of NGS panels in improving sample throughput
