How the Clinical Reporting Team is the New Sherlock Holmes in Genomics - Par 2

How the Clinical Reporting Team is the New Sherlock Holmes in Genomics: Part 2

When a rare genetic disease diagnosis is a mystery, how do you crack the case? For some, the first step toward care, treatment, and possible therapies is finding a dual diagnosis. Listen to part 2 of our series on the laboratory clinical reporting team and its work in uncovering these special cases.

Phenotypically-Driven Clinical Results with Dr. Lora Bean

Dr. Lora Bean gives an overview of phenotypically driven clinical results in this episode of DNA Today! On this episode we discuss:

  • Differences between gene panels, exome, and genome sequencing
  • Adapting workflows from exome to genome utilizing existing frameworks
  • Advantages of different types of testing
  • Limiting the floodgates of variants that inevitably come with whole genome sequencing
  • Helpful information for providers to include with specimens to guide the laboratory when the data are analyzed
  • The role of phenotypic data specifically in classification of sequence variants
  • Deep intronic variants
