Comprehensive Nephrology Gene Panel

Methodology

Next generation sequencing (NGS), including both capture-based and amplicon-based, is performed to test for the presence of variants in coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the genes analyzed, as well as some other regions that have known pathogenic variants. The human genome reference GRCh37/hg19 build was used for sequence read alignment. At least 99% of the bases are covered at a read depth over 30X. Sensitivity is estimated at above 99% for single nucleotide variants, above 94% for delins less than 40 base pairs (bp), above 95% for deletions up to 75 bp and insertions up to 47 bp. NGS based quantitative method is performed to test for the presence of deletions and duplications in the genes analyzed. There may be regions of genes that cannot be effectively evaluated by sequencing or deletion and duplication analysis as a result of technical limitations of the assay, including regions of homology, high guanine-cytosine (GC) content, and repetitive sequences. See <<PDF: Targeted Genes and Methodology Details>> for details regarding the targeted genes analyzed for each test and specific gene regions not routinely covered.
