New approach successfully traces genomic variants back to genetic disorders

Medical Xpress

National Institutes of Health researchers have published an assessment of 13 studies that took a genotype-first approach to patient care. This approach contrasts with the typical phenotype-first approach to clinical research, which starts with clinical findings.

Inferring human genomes at a fraction of the cost promises to boost biomedical research

Scienmag

To discover these associations, researchers need to compare the genomes of many individuals at millions of genetic locations or markers, and therefore require cost-effective genotyping technologies. A new statistical method, developed […].

Biorepositories as a Guiding Resource for Research & Drug Discovery

XTalks

The power of leveraging clinical data to decipher disease mechanisms and fuel drug discovery has rapidly grown in the era of genomics and personalized medicine. Generation of strong research dataset cohorts must begin with high-quality clinical samples. Partnerships and Establishing Research Cohorts.

To Share or Not to Share Failed Genetic Screening Results with Patients

Worldwide Clinical Trials

As genome-wide association studies to identify genetic markers for common diseases increase, these questions will surface even more. The best course of action will depend on many variables, such as the disease or population being studied and the genotype/phenotype relationship, risk, and impact on care. Read the full article!

8 Frequently Asked Questions About Genetic Testing in Clinical Trials

Worldwide Clinical Trials

genotyping for known variants vs sequencing only vs sequencing and concurrent deletion/duplication analysis), and whether the interpretation of the genetic testing results may have changed over time. What is the difference between a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-approved laboratory vs a research laboratory?

Can genetic data be a magic bullet for drug R&D?

pharmaphorum

One of the reasons is because researchers now have far more genetic data to work with than was ever previously possible. The cost of testing per human genome in 2006 was approximately $14 million , and in less than two decades, an average consumer-purchased genetic test costs $100.
