Goal: Develop a BRCA1 and BRCA2 NGS panel with  Ion AmpliSeq™ technology and Ion PGM™ Sequencer 

1. Coverage of targets:  100% coverage of all coding exons and exon‐intron boundaries (‐20 to +20)Amplicons covering exons are overlapping

2. European Molecular Genetics Quality Network GuidelinesPrimers do not overlapNo validated SNPs in the last five nucleotides of primerMax 3 validated SNPs per primer

3. Adoptable by other research labs ‐ accurate, affordable & easySingle day workflowMultiplex at least 6 samples per chip (316)Reliable and easy data analysis – e.g. Ion Reporter ™ Software
