2023 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Annual Meeting

Members of the medical genetics and genomics community from across the globe will come together for four days of professional growth, education, networking, and collaboration. The ACMG Annual Meeting provides can’t-miss opportunities for industry, advocacy groups, government agencies, academic institutions, and publishers to position their organization and showcase products and services to practitioners representing the entire genetics team.

Visit Illumina booth 601 to learn more about our solutions for whole-genome sequencing, Illumina Complete Long Reads, and Illumina Connected Software to help uncover rare disease insights.

The majority of patients with rare Mendelian disorders reside in low- and middle-income (LMI) households and countries. The potential impact of clinical whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in this population has not been systematically investigated, in part because of challenges of test deployment and expectations that a molecular diagnosis is unlikely to lead to meaningful changes of management (COM) in LMI environments. Here we report a retrospective observational cohort analysis of 1,004 consecutive resource-constrained individuals with a suspected rare genetic disease who received philanthropic clinical WGS as participants in the iHope program.

Illumina next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been the most widely adopted technology for human whole-genome sequencing (WGS), delivering an accurate, scalable, cost-effective solution, featured in over 300,000 scientific publications. However, a small portion of the genome remains challenging to map due to highly repetitive or highly homologous regions. Illumina Complete Long-Reads will address these edge cases and accelerate access to the remaining ~5% of genic regions. In this presentation, we will share use cases of Complete Long Reads and highlight research being done by collaborators around the world.
