Designed BED file
The designed BED files show the amplified regions of the panel. These files are used for data analysis with the Torrent Variant Caller Plug-In. (See Data Analysis section below)
HotSpot BED file
The HotSpot BED file specifies the regions of known mutations with allele specific information such as the (REF) reference, (OBS) observed, and (ANCHOR) anchor fields. The coordinate after the anchor base is used for matching of indels.*
Currently, these BED files are only currently available for analysis with the Cancer Panel v1, Cancer Panel v2, and the Comprehensive Cancer Panel. The Inherited Disease Panel does not have an associated HotSpot file as it is not cancer-research focused (and does not have COSMIC ids).
* Note: To avoid the issue of ambiguous right alignment of indel calling, hotspot BED files are left aligned for optimal performance when used with Torrent Variant Caller.
Data Analysis in Torrent Browser
To run data analysis in the Torrent Browser, first upload both the designed BED and hotspots BED files. In the case of the "Ion AmpliSeq™ Pan-Bacterial Research Panel" and the "Ion AmpliSeq™ Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Research Panel", the panel files cannot be directly imported into the the Torrent Browser using the upload function or by direct import of the files. Please use the appropriate plugin for analysis purposes.

Summary:
Noonan syndrome is a relatively common autosomal dominant congenital disorder. The noonan Panel assesses 14 genes known to be related with this disorder: A2ML1, BRAF, CBL, HRAS, KRAS, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, NRAS, PTPN11, RAF1, RIT1, SHOC2, SOS1 and SPRED1. This panel contains 268 amplicons in 2 pools.
Noonan syndrome is a relatively common autosomal dominant congenital disorder with a high phenotypic variability. It is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder that belongs to the group of Rasopathy diseases, caused by mutations in genes dysregulating the RAS/MAPK pathway.
The Noonan Research Gene Panel has been developed in collaboration with an European consortia composed by Marco Tartaglia(1), Jose Luis Costa (2), Kornelia Neveling and Marcel Nelen (3) . 1) Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Rome, Italy, 2) Ipatimup, Porto 3) Human Genetics, Radboud UMC Nijmegen .
The panel assesses 14 genes known to be related with this disorder. A2ML1, BRAF, CBL, HRAS, KRAS, MAP2K1, MAP2K2, NRAS, PTPN11, RAF1, RIT1, SHOC2, SOS1, SPRED1. In a first study of 60 archived samples we showed that very high sensitivity and specificity are achievable.

This Mendelian Disease (single gene disorders) panel was developed as a quick, accurate and cost-effective method to identify genetic mutations associated with inherited cardiovascular defects. The panel assesses 404 genes known to harbor mutations affecting cardiovascular functioning.
It can be difficult to identify specific genetic causes of cardiovascular diseases because of pleiotropy, locus heterogeneity and accessibility of gene tests. The panel was developed as a quick, accurate and cost-effective method to identify genetic mutations associated with inherited cardiovascular defects. The panel assesses 404 genes known to harbor mutations affecting cardiovascular functioning. In addition to targeting all coding regions, an additional 94 non-coding disease-causing loci are targeted, as well as special coverage of two repeat expansion regions, in genes DMPK and CACNA1A.

Summary:
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene. The Ion AmpliSeq™ CFTR Panel is a 2 pool panel with 102 amplicons used for re-amplification and analysis of the coding region of the CFTR gene.
Description
Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common, fatal genetic diseases in the United States and is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene. While hundreds of mutations have been discovered in CFTR, sequencing can be cost prohibitive when running large numbers of samples using Sanger sequencing. The Ion AmpliSeq™ CFTR Panel provides a simple and affordable CFTR gene sequencing with dedicated analysis workflows for optimal variant calling in Ion Reporter™ Software 4.0. This panel allows you to analyze all coding exons, intron-exon boundaries and UTRs of CFTR with 102 amplicons, including the >160 mutations from CFTR2.org research database.

Summary:
The Ion AmpliSeq™ Dementia Research Gene Panel was developed to help identify genetic mutations associated with early onset dementia. This panel contains 214 amplicons in 2 pools.
Research to identify a specific genetic cause of early onset dementia (EOD) is important but can be difficult because of pleiotropy, locus heterogeneity and accessibility of gene tests. The panel was developed as a quick, accurate and cost effective method to identify genetic mutations associated with in EOD. The panel assesses 17 genes known to harbour mutations causal of dementia (PRNP, PSEN1, PSEN2, APP, GRN, MAPT, TREM2, CHMP2B, CSF1R, FUS, ITM2B, NOTCH3, SERPINI1, TARDBP, TYROBP, VCP, SQSTM1) which we routinely combine with PCR based assessments of the C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion and the octapeptide repeat region of PRNP. In a blinded study of 95 archived samples we showed that very high sensitivity and specificity are achievable. For further details see Beck et al, NeuroBiology of Aging 2013.

Summary:
The Ion AmpliSeq™ Hearing Loss Research Panel v1 was developed as a quick, accurate and cost-effective method to identify genetic mutations associated with hearing loss. The panel assesses 63 genes known to mutations causal of hearing. This panel contains 2,064 amplicons in 2 pools.
Because of the extreme genetic heterogeneity of deafness, interpreting genetic information is difficult. Research using targeted exon sequencing by massively parallel DNA sequencing is a powerful strategy to discover rare variants in genes associated with Mendelian disorders such as deafness. This panel was developed as a quick, accurate and cost-effective method to identify genetic mutations associated with hearing loss. The panel assesses 63 genes known to mutations causal of hearing, which we routinely screen with the Invader method and Taqman® method. We obtained very high sensitivity and specificity with this panel in a study of more than 100 archived samples. For further details see Miyagawa et al, Plos One 2013.
