Presentations largely reflected negatively on the utility of PD-L1 for stratifying response, but pivotal new data on tumor mutational burden as assessed by Foundation Medicine's genomic sequencing panel.
Plenary session Chairwoman Elaine Mardis said the presentations made it clear how great the need is for interdisciplinary science as data becomes ever more complex.
A Color Genomics collaborator reported that nearly half of first-degree relatives who were invited for reduced-cost testing in cancer-related genes opted to participate.
The partnership has allowed Philips to provide a single view of cancer patient's status, including genomic test results, through the FDA-cleared IntelliSite Pathology Solution.
This case study shows how the University Medical Center (UMC) Utrecht Genetics Department built a foundation to efficiently transition to whole genome sequencing with combined CNV and SNV analysis on the same data set.
With increased biomarker and specialty lab data being incorporated into FDA submissions, drug developers are running into challenges as they prepare data that comply with new regulatory requirements. Precision for Medicine's experts present a case study for addressing these challenges and provide a solution.
In this webcast, the performance of the HTG EdgeSeq miRNA Whole Transcriptome Assay (WTA) is evaluated using the samples and methods from the miRQC study.
