OGT SureSeq Myeloid Plus panel

OGT, a Sysmex Group Company, has launched the SureSeq Myeloid Plus panel to detect aberrations in genes implicated in a variety of myeloid disorders. The panel is able to detect a comprehensive range of aberrations including SNVs, indels, ITDs and PTDs within 49 genes. These genes cover those associated with myeloid disorders, including acute myeloid leukaemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms and myelodysplastic syndrome, among others.

Due to OGT’s expertise in bait design, the panel delivers high-coverage uniformity for low-frequency variants, even in difficult-to-sequence AT/GC rich regions and challenging regions covering ITDs and PTDs, which are common somatic variants in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) often associated with poor prognosis and an aggressive form of the disease. The company says the power of the panel stands testament to the benefits of hybridisation capture over PCR enrichment for high levels of sensitivity and uniformity of coverage.
