Genomes in clinical care.

📅 March 14, 2024 👤 Riess Olaf, Sturm Marc, Menden Benita et al. 📖 NPJ genomic medicine

🤖 Plain-English Summary

In the era of precision medicine, genome sequencing (GS) has become more affordable and the importance of genomics and multi-omics in clinical care is increasingly being recognized. We describe our experience and lessons learned for a variety of topics including test logistics, patient care processes, data reporting, and infrastructure.

🔑 Key Findings

  • However, how to scale and effectively implement GS on an institutional level remains a challenge for many.
  • Here, we present Genome First and Ge-Med, two clinical implementation studies focused on identifying the key pillars and processes that are required to make routine GS and predictive genomics a reality in the clinical setting.
  • We describe our experience and lessons learned for a variety of topics including test logistics, patient care processes, data reporting, and infrastructure.

💡 Why This Matters

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
