About this ebook
This book is also focused on the challenges of diagnostic interpretation of NGS results in a clinical setting. Its final sections are devoted to the emerging regulatory issues that will govern clinical use of NGS, and reimbursement paradigms that will affect the way in which laboratory professionals get paid for the testing.
- Simplifies complexities of NGS technologies for rapid education of clinical genomicists and genomic pathologists towards genomic medicine paradigm
- Tried and tested practice-based analysis for precision diagnosis and treatment plans
- Specific pipelines and meta-analysis for full range of clinically important variants
