Becker's Healthcare Podcast: RCHSD President and CEO Patricio A. Frias shares the exciting innovative research being conducted at Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine.
MedPage Today: Whole genome sequencing captured almost twice as many genetic abnormalities that may be responsible for disease in infants, compared with a standard targeted test, researchers found.
GENETIC ENGINEERING & BIOTECHNOLOGY NEWS: A national study, led by researchers at Tufts Medical Center, has found whole genome sequencing (WGS) to be nearly twice as effective as a targeted gene sequencing test at identifying abnormalities responsible for genetic disorders in newborns and infants.
STAT NEWS: There’s growing evidence that DNA sequencing can help diagnose the health care system’s youngest patients — babies in their first year of life. But a new report resurfaces a thorny challenge in researchers’ quest to turn long strings of A’s, T’s, G’s, and C’s into information doctors and patients can use: Reading the genome is one challenge, interpreting it is another.
U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT: Identifying genetic disorders in newborns and infants can help them get the care they need, but one approach -- whole genome sequencing -- appears far superior to another.
Targeted genome sequencing was found to deliver routine results more quickly and at a lower cost; lack of standardization in analytic techniques remains a barrier to diagnosis and medical care for genetic disorders in the first year of life.
CBS8 NEWS: The Culver City 8th grader has been staying with his family at the Ronald McDonald house in San Diego for the past few months since the surgery.
HITConsultant.net: Chris Tackaberry, founder and CEO of Clinithink, reviews the role of AI in transforming the diagnostic odyssey, focusing on RCIGM's work with Clinical Natural Language Processing.
DARK DAILY: Research in the UK and US into how rapid WGS can prevent deaths and improve outcomes for kids with rare genetic diseases may lead to more genetic testing based in local clinical laboratories.
