Whole Genome Sequencing

Candace Haddox, MD, explored advances in genetic sequencing for sarcomas, which was a major theme of the Connective Tissue Oncology Society Annual Meeting, in this video interview with Healio.

SEATTLE — A hospital used real-time whole-genome sequencing to detect genetically related clusters of infection, identify potential sources and stopped further transmission, researchers reported.

Genetic variants associated with CVD found incidentally during testing should be interpreted with caution using a framework that includes a multidisciplinary team of experts, according to a new scientific statement.

Whole-genome sequencing appeared as accurate as and more efficient than conventional cytogenetic tests for genomic profiling of acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome, according to data in The New England Journal of Medicine.

A urine-based whole-genome sequencing assay demonstrated high specificity and comparable sensitivity to standard cytology for the detection of urothelial carcinoma, according to study results published in Clinical Cancer Research.

A genomic risk score developed with a meta-scoring approach may predict the risk for ischemic stroke, according to a study published in Nature Communications.
