In a Nature Medicine paper, WGS yielded a clinical benefit for 24 percent of pediatric cancer patients, and directly changed clinical management for 7 percent.
The research study, run by Genomics England in collaboration with the UK's National Health Service, plans to sequence the genomes of 100,000 newborns.
UK Study Supports Use of Whole-Genome Sequencing in Standard Cancer Care
The researchers found that whole-genome sequencing yielded more comprehensive information than relying on cancer panels.
