Description: 

Validation of NGS-based testing for oncology panels can be challenging given the many steps and wide range of targeted mutations. In this presentation, Dr. Jennings will discuss the recent AMP/CAP guideline recommendations for validation and review practical ways to provide documented evidence with the clinical NGS reports.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe an error-based approach to validation and choose which sources of variation need to be assessed.
  • Estimate the number of samples that are needed to confidently achieve a stated reliability.
  • Use tolerance limits to define minimum QC performance criteria.
  • Compare ways to assess library complexity.
