Purpose: Next generation DNA sequencing (NGS) holds promise for diagnostic applications, yet implementation in routine molecular pathology practice requires performance evaluation on DNA derived from routine formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens. The current study presents a comprehensive analysis of TruSeq Amplicon Cancer Panel-based NGS using a MiSeq Personal sequencer (TSACP-MiSeq-NGS) for somatic mutation profiling.

Methods: TSACP-MiSeq-NGS (testing 212 hotspot mutation amplicons of 48 genes) and a data analysis pipeline were evaluated in a retrospective learning/test set approach (n = 58/n = 45 FFPE-tumor DNA samples) against ‘gold standard’ high-resolution-melting (HRM)-sequencing for the genes KRAS, EGFR, BRAF and PIK3CA. Next, the performance of the validated test algorithm was assessed in an independent, prospective cohort of FFPE-tumor DNA samples (n = 75).

Results: In the learning set, a number of minimum parameter settings was defined to decide whether a FFPE-DNA sample is qualified for TSACP-MiSeq-NGS and for calling mutations. The resulting test algorithm revealed 82 % (37/45) compliance to the quality criteria and 95 % (35/37) concordant assay findings for KRAS, EGFR, BRAF and PIK3CA with HRM-sequencing (kappa = 0.92; 95 % CI = 0.81–1.03) in the test set. Subsequent application of the validated test algorithm to the prospective cohort yielded a success rate of 84 % (63/75), and a high concordance with HRM-sequencing (95 % (60/63); kappa = 0.92; 95 % CI = 0.84–1.01). TSACP-MiSeq-NGS detected 77 mutations in 29 additional genes.

Conclusion: TSACP-MiSeq-NGS is suitable for diagnostic gene mutation profiling in oncopathology.
