Abstract:

Objective · To establish a test method platform system for high throughput sequencing of pathogenic genes of pheochromocytoma and make preparation for including the genetic diagnosis into routine clinical testing. Methods · The bank was constructed for 35 DNA fragments in 7 pathogenic genes (SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, VHL, MAX, TMEM127, and RET) of pheochromocytoma with two-step PCR method of high throughput sequencing. The high throughput sequencing was performed on illumine Miseq machine. Results · Thirty-five DNA fragments were detected on illumine Miseq machine and the uniformity met the design of experiment. Conclusion · This method completed the gene detection for 7 pathogenic genes of pheochromocytoma. The quality and cost of the experiment achieved the expectation.
