Scaling Clinical NGS: From Panels to Exomes to WGS
Advances in NGS technologies coupled with decreased cost are opening the doors to broad genomic applications in the clinic. Thus, Clinical NGS testing is expanding from panels to exomes to whole genomes. Interpretation and reporting capabilities in conjunction with advanced computational algorithms are required to successfully maximize diagnostic outcome.
Session Abstract – PMWC 2017 Silicon Valley
Session Synopsis: The clinical NGS workflow is complex in nature, spanning sequence data generation, data management, data analysis and interpretation, as well as reporting of the actionable findings. Building the right solution requires a good understanding of the processes to be supported and the needs to be addressed for individual constituents. In this session we will hear about some of the solutions that are available today as well as the perspective of a genetic counselor, an important stakeholder who adds value toward the end of this workflow.
