Genotyping from targeted NGS data based on a small set of SNPs correctly matches patient samples

Mislabelling and swapping of laboratory samples are handling errors that can lead to erroneous interpretation of data and/or patient harm. Sequenced samples can be traced back to the respective donors by matching of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Here we used sequencing data (targeted NGS) from two cohorts of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia to demonstrate the possibility of selecting informative SNPs from a typical targeted NGS panel and to create an automated workflow for detection of sample handling errors.

EGAD50000000757	This dataset consists of raw sequencing data from targeted next generation sequencing of samples from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. These samples were used to validate an approach for detection of sample mislabelling and swapping in clinical cohorts using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), as described in the associated article. The data are divided into two parts - data from the initial validation experiment (discovery cohort) and data from an additional independent cohort.	Illumina MiSeq	36
