Webinar information
Genetic testing technologies are evolving at a rapid pace. Consequently, their capabilities and limitations are also quickly changing.
In this webinar, Laboratory Director and Senior Geneticist Jennifer Schleit, PhD, FACMG, will review and discuss common questions and misconceptions about genetic testing. Topics include copy number detection using NGS-based technology, using diagnostic yield as a metric for test quality, and limitations of genetic testing. Where possible, case examples and testing data will be used to confirm or debunk these myths.
Webinar objectives:
- Critically evaluate NGS-based genetic testing capabilities and limitations
- Provide insights to support informed decision-making when selecting the best laboratory and test for your patient
- Demonstrate clinical significance through case examples
- Discuss the future of genetic testing capabilities
