Analytical utility assessment of myeloid NGS gene panel testing; a single site experience

Dr. Elizabeth McCready, PhD, FCCMG

Head of Molecular Cytogenetics, Hamilton Regional Laboratory Medicine Program, Ontario, Canada & Associate Professor, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada

Dr. McCready’s research activities are largely translational in nature, with particular interest in application of molecular cytogenetic techniques to characterize clinically relevant genetic variants that contribute to developmental disorders and cancer.

In this presentation Dr. McCready will compare a hybridization-based NGS panel versus single analyte and amplicon-based NGS assays for somatic mutation testing in myeloid malignancies, from her experience with OGT’s SureSeq myPanel™ Custom Myeloid - 49 gene plus panel.
