This webinar discusses how ultra-highly sensitive and customizable targeted next-generation sequencing panels are applied in inherited disease research. In particular, the seminar highlights a study that sought to test the hypothesis that causative genetic variants for inherited diseases that often fall into the category of “de novo mutations” are sometimes the result of undetected mosaicism in the parents.

In this webinar, Hans Atli Dahl, co-founder and chief technology officer at Amplexa Genetics, shares how this study led to the evaluation of the coming soon Ion AmpliSeq HD* targeted NGS solutions from Thermo Fisher Scientific. He shares details of how the Ion AmpliSeq HD* panels address the need for ultra-high sensitive detection and its potential to deliver new insights about the causes of these types of genetic diseases.

Amplexa Genetics, based in Denmark, specializes in clinical genetic testing and clinical variant interpretation associated with a variety of disorders. The company has a long history of NGS analysis in epilepsy and other encephalopathies and recently moved into molecular genetics of endocrine disorders and direct-to-consumer testing for recessive inheritance risk-assessment.
