Genetic Tests

What Impact Could AI Have On Genetic Testing?

by Dr Rocío Acuña Hidalgo, co-founder and CTO at Nostos Genomics 02/27/2023 Leave a Comment

What Impact Could AI Have On Genetic Testing?

The sequencing and analysis of human DNA have advanced significantly since the initial draft of a human genome that was published as part of the Human Genome Project. With DNA sequencing becoming increasingly cost-effective, the market for genetic testing is growing at an accelerating rate – the market for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) services has an estimated annual growth of 18.3% from 2022 to 2030. AI presents a range of possibilities for this rapidly growing field, and in this article,

Why Families Need the Closure Whole Genome Sequencing Provides

For medical practitioners expertly trained in the scientific methods of discovery, having a young patient with serious health complications from an undiagnosed condition is about as somber and frustrating as it gets. These feelings are only magnified for parents of the patient, especially when searching for a diagnosis can go on for years. This is the essence of what is known as the “diagnostic odyssey.” Honing in on a rare disease diagnosis involves thorough medical history evaluations,

Eliminating the Long, Cumbersome and Costly Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases

The answer to questions about human disease can be found in our genes. The difficulty in the past has been the testing process, a sort of trial and error approach of drilling down into the multitude of variants that can be found within the genes, variants that when analyzed in tandem with detailed clinical histories can actually tell the story and lead to a faster diagnosis. Human beings carry around 20,000 genes and, of those, approximately 5,000 are somewhat understood, and those genes can

Consumer Genetic Tests Accelerate Precision Medicine for Some Providers

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests have been on the scene for some time now. The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first DTC test on three specific BRCA1/BRCA2 breast cancer gene mutations more than two years ago. Six months after that, the agency similarly green-lighted a DTC pharmacogenomic (PGx) test to examine 33 variants for eight different genes that indicate how effectively patients metabolize specific medications. Like many such advances, availability of DTC tests is
