Challenges in Selecting the Optimal Genetic Test

The webinar gives an overview of challenges that we still face today in next generation sequencing (NGS) based genetic diagnostics. These challenges are described also by using patient examples. It also defines how these challenges should be taken into consideration when selecting the optimal diagnostic test. It then focuses on the concepts of transparency in genetic diagnostics and how the lack of transparency is one of the major problems in the field. Finally, it describes strategies how laboratories could improve their transparency and by that assisting the health care professionals in selecting the best test for their patients.
