RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility and relibility of rapidly and accurately acquiring the informations of gene mutations in MPN patients by using self-designed custom MPN mutation-related multipe-PCR primer kit and next generation Ion Torrent PGM sequencing platform.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The bone marrow samples of 10 MPN patients with JAK2V617F and/or CALR, Phconfirmed by sanger sequencing method were collected and were re-detected by using next generation Ion Torrent PGM sequencing method, then the consistence of results of above-mentioned 2 kinds of detection methods was compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In terms of JAK2V617F, MPL and CALR mutations, the results of Ion Torrent PGM sequencing were complete consistent with results of Sanger sequencing, except 52 bp deletion of CALR gene, which conld not be detected by next generation Ion Torrent PGM sequencing method in all bone marrow samples.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The detection of multiple gene mutations in MPN patients by Ion Torrent PGM sequencing platform is feasible and can meet the needs of clinical testing. This method can complete detection of all 23 mutetions within 1-2 days, moreover, possesses advantages of high sensitivity, specificity, rapidity, high throughput and low cost.</p>
