Optimizing Next-Gen Sequencing in Genomic Medicine

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has not only enhanced our ability to identify new disease causing genes, but also enabled a cost effective and efficient way for clinicians to test multiple genes simultaneously. This comes at a time when the value of a genetic diagnosis has never been greater. Once merely limited to confirming a clinical diagnosis, now genetic findings are increasingly impacting medical decisions. This talk discusses how a clinician can optimize use of this technology and minimize burden while ensuring high quality test results.
