Identification of Genomic Alterations in Thai Patients With Colorectal Cancer Using Next-Generation Sequencing-Based Multigene Cancer Panel.

ABSTRACT: Introduction Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of death and illness in the general population. Although the incidence of CRC is steadily decreasing worldwide, it is being diagnosed more in individuals under 50 years of age. Multiple disease-causing variants have been reported to be involved in the development of CRC. This study aimed to investigate the molecular and clinical characteristics of Thai patients with CRC. Methods NGS-based multigene cancer panel testing was performed on 21 unrelated patients. Target enrichment was performed using a custom-designed Ion AmpliSeq on-demand panel. Thirty-six genes associated with CRC and other cancer were analyzed for variant detection. Results Sixteen variants (five nonsense, eight missense, two deletions, and one duplication) i
