Analysis of gene panels in clinical research setting, including BRCA1/2 using PCR enrichment and Ion PGM workflow and comparison with capillary electrophoresis data.  The lab results indicate 99% sensitivity and specificity with 0% false positives, from an analysis of 4912 variants on the Ion PGM™ Sequencer.  The presentation describes an ongoing workflow for routine analysis that uses the Ion PGM for all variant analysis, and Sanger Sequencing for validation and any missed amplicons -- typically around 1.6 sequences per sample.
