How the Clinical Reporting Team is the New Sherlock Holmes in Genetics

Patients with rare diseases have much to gain from whole genome testing. Many times a condition may be so rare that physicians have not diagnosed or seen that particular condition.   “On average from the time that a first symptom appears, an individual might see anywhere from 16 to 17 healthcare specialists before they get their diagnosis,” says Collins. “And that period of time on average is about seven to 10 years, which is a pretty significant amount of time that patients are searching for answers and trying to find out the cause of their medical issues.”

Interview with Dr. Hegde on the advances in genomic testing and the current landscape

2022-09-15T13:57:43-04:00August 11th, 2022|Clinical Genomics|

Read this candid interview with Dr. Madhuri Hegde as she discusses the strategy of PerkinElmer Genomics of combining genomic sequencing with a functional enzyme assay, and why whole genome sequencing is our focus and mission. She also reflects on how genomic testing has advanced in the last five years and what that means for providers and their patients.

Panels and exome sequencing: Comprehensive solutions for cardiomyopathies

2022-08-16T09:43:11-04:00August 4th, 2022|Newsletter|

Mutations in the MYH7 and MYBPC3 genes account for approximately 50%1 of cases of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). But HCM can also be caused by pathogenic variants in many genes (genetic heterogeneity), including seven additional sarcomeric genes (MYBPC3, TNNT2, TPM1, MYL2, MYL3, TNNI3, ACTC1). Further complicating the HCM picture are disorders such as Pompe disease, Fabry disease, PRKAG2‐cardiomyopathy, Danon disease, TTR‐amyloidosis, and

Genome-wide sequencing for prenatal diagnosis of fetal structural anomalies: Building the case

2022-07-05T12:19:36-04:00July 6th, 2022|Newsletter|

Use of genome sequencing in the prenatal diagnostic setting is steadily increasing. Karyotyping and chromosomal microarray (CMA) remain the leading strategies for investigating the potential genetic etiology of fetal structural anomalies; however, as more providers recognize the benefits of genome sequencing, its volume is increasing. This growing provider use has prompted position statements for the use

Case Study: Adult-onset phenotype with a dual diagnosis

2022-08-11T15:39:17-04:00June 1st, 2022|Case Study|

PerkinElmer Genomics offers whole genome sequencing (WGS) for every need: standard, prenatal, STAT, and ultrarapid. The clinical utility and relevance of WGS cannot be overstated. As demonstrated by this real case study from our laboratory, comprehensive WGS can finally bring answers to patients, families, and providers. Clinical Background 60-year-old male with a complex phenotype Progressive
