Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in academia are leading publishers and journals to re-examine their use of terminology for commonly used scientific variables. This reassessment of language is particularly important for human genetics, which is focused on identifying and explaining differences between individuals and populations. Recent guidance on the use of terms and symbols in clinical…
To investigate the impact of rapid-turnaround exome sequencing in critically ill neonates using phenotype-based subject selection criteria.
Despite the rapid uptake of multigene panel testing (MGPT) for hereditary cancer predisposition, there is limited guidance surrounding indications for testing and genes to include.
The translation of genome sequencing into routine health care has been slow, partly because of concerns about affordability. The aspirational cost of sequencing a genome…
The congenital Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) and Brugada Syndrome (BrS) are Mendelian autosomal dominant diseases which frequently precipitate fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Incomplete penetrance is a…
Expanded pan-ethnic carrier screening is an effective tool for the management of reproductive risk. However, growth in the number of conditions screened, in combination with…
TANGO2 deficiency disorder (TDD), an autosomal recessive disease first reported in 2016, is characterized by neurodevelopmental delays, seizures, intermittent ataxia, hypothyroidism and life-threatening metabolic and…
Genetics professionals understand that variant classifications are not static and can change over time. Reclassifications may occur in response to changes in evidence, new or…
Witteveen-Kolk syndrome (WITKOS) is a rare, autosomal dominant neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous loss-of-function alterations in the SIN3A gene. WITKOS has variable expressivity that commonly…
Despite the rapid uptake of multigene panel testing (MGPT) for hereditary cancer predisposition, there is limited guidance surrounding indications for testing and genes to include.
Integrating genomic data into the electronic health record (EHR) is key for optimally delivering genomic medicine.
