How can we improve diagnostic yield for patients with complex phenotypes? During our Satellite Session at ESHG 2021, Executive Medical Director Tero-Pekka Alastalo, MD, PhD, discussed the benefits of combining high-quality mtDNA analysiswith routine panel-based diagnostics.
During the talk, Dr Alastalo presented Blueprint Genetics approach to improving diagnostic yield with:
High-resolution copy number variant detection
Inclusion of noncoding variants
Resolving clinically important difficult-to-sequence regions
High-quality mitochondrial DNA analysis
Watch a recording of our other ESHG 2021 presentation on solving diagnostic challenges in difficult-to-sequence regions with a special focus on hearing loss, led by Senior Manager of Genomic Services Kim Gall, MSc, CGC.
