Targeted sequencing can provide the researcher a focused set of genes to investigate when a specific condition or disease state is suspected. The investigator can identify regions of interest and select panels to interrogate known disease-causing genes appropriate to the phenotype. With both research use only (RUO) tools and an IVD solution for clinical use, options are plentiful for further targeted analysis.
The TruSight Cystic Fibrosis 139-Variant Assay is an FDA-cleared, CE-IVD-marked NGS test designed to detect 139 CFTR variants as defined in the CFTR2 database. Other methods test only for those variants most commonly found in Caucasians, potentially missing CF-causing variants across broader ethnic groups. The assay offers the largest CF variant panel to overcome this bias and provide comprehensive detection across diverse demographics.1
Learn MoreThe TruSight One Sequencing Panel provides comprehensive coverage of > 4800 disease-associated genes, while the TruSight One Expanded Sequencing Panel targets ~1900 additional genes with recent disease associations in the scientific literature.
Learn MoreTruSight Inherited Disease was developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephen Kingsmore during his tenure at Children's Mercy Hospital (CMH) for Pediatric Genomic Medicine, Dr. Carol Saunders at CMH, and Dr. Hilger Ropers at the Max Planck Institute. The panel includes 552 genes focused on severe, recessive childhood diseases and intellectual disability.
Learn MoreThe TruSeq Neurodegeneration Panel covers 118 risk genes associated with common neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, and others. Leading researchers in the neuroscience community contributed their expertise to the design and development of this sequencing panel.
