  • Repeating mutations

    Good evening people,

    I am working in a lab where we use S5 IonTorrent sequencer and we are sequencing with Colon and Lung V2 panel different type of samples: colon cancers, lung cancers, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, also we sequenced few samples from buccal swab for experiment. In 80% plus samples sequenced with this NGS panel we detect 4 repeating mutations: FGFR3:1807894 G>A; TP53:7579472 G>C; EGFR:55228053 A>T; EGFR:55249063 G>A. At first we thought it was contamination then we repeat same samples with re isolated DNA and we got same result, also we changed library preparation kit, we also asked for colleagues who used same panel do they get same mutations and they do. After 2 years of sequencing we conclude it is not contamination but something different. Could you, please, give me some information about this issue we have?

    Sincerely AGC team.

    All of these are common variants, see below for allele frequencies from The 1000 Genomes Project. Your frequencies will vary depending on the genetic background of the samples.
    FGFR3:1807894 (rs7688609) G=0.0439 A=0.9561
    TP53:7579472 (rs1042522) G=0.4571 C=0.5429
    EGFR:55228053 (rs1558544) A=0.2266 T=0.7734
    EGFR:55249063 (rs1050171) G=0.5673 A=0.4327

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
