What is the current utility of genome after nondiagnostic exome sequencing in pediatric epilepsy? We find a diagnostic yield ~7%, which we believe supports a genome-first approach and will increase as we learn more about the human genome 🧠🧬 @JAMANeuro

This cohort study examined the yield and use of genome sequencing after nondiagnostic exome sequencing for pediatric patients with unexplained epilepsy between August 2018 and May 2023.

Launch of national conversation to shape the Government’s 10 Year Health Plan Statement from Mark Flannagan, Chief Executive of Genetic Alliance UK
When Attlee and Bevan built the NHS in 1948, they could scarcely have imagined that the NHS would make us ideally placed for the revolution in medical science and technology. Just as they built the NHS for the 20th century, we’ll rebuild it for the 21st. https://t.co/I1DvEB2nZp
