Molecular diagnostics uses genetic analysis to diagnose and guide treatment of diseases. This conference will discuss recent developments on next-generation sequencing, genetics, genomic medicine and rare genetic diseases that are having a profound impact on healthcare delivery.
- Current core technologies for the diagnosis of classic genetic disorders to shed light on the benefits and disadvantages of these strategies, including diagnostic efficiency, variant interpretation, and secondary findings. Review of upcoming technologies posed to impart further changes in the field of genetic diagnostics.
- Genome Sequencing in rare genetic disorders: A cutting-edge technology that allows for rapid and comprehensive analysis of an individual's entire genome.
- Current genomic diagnosis in Internal Medicine: Diagnostic testing is currently the most common type of genetic testing in internal medicine practice and includes targeted Sanger sequencing for suspected monogenic disorders and focused panel sequencing of genes for hereditary cancer and cardiac diseases.
- Clinical Applications of Long-Read Sequencing: Long-read sequencing technologies have opened up new possibilities for understanding the complex genomic landscape of various diseases. Clinical applications of long-read sequencing encompass a wide range of areas, including detecting structural variations, identifying disease-causing mutations in repetitive regions of the genome, and uncovering rare genetic variants.
