The study of more than 1.5 million tests shows genomic sequencing generates more diagnostic certainty than panel-based testing. Led by Dr. Heidi Rehm, Chief Genomics Officer in the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, the research compared VUS rates across multi-gene panels of varying sizes and both genome and exome tests. It demonstrated that both genome and exome testing have lower VUS rates compared to traditional gene panels, with trio-based genomic testing having the fewest reported VUS rates.
Specifically, the research revealed that genomic tests reported 30% fewer inconclusive results compared to multi-gene panel tests (23% vs 33%) and a higher diagnostic yield (18% vs 10%). The study also supported testing parents in addition to affected individuals as doing so increases the probability of a genetic answer from 15% to 20%.
“We are proud to work with Dr. Rehm and the other study partners on this research illustrating the power of genomic sequencing for improving diagnostic certainty,” said Dr. Paul Kruszka, Chief Medical Officer of GeneDx at Sema4. “Genome and exome sequencing have improved diagnostic yields and contribute greatly to ending the diagnostic odyssey, which is a goal of affected families, healthcare providers and payers.”
