SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers from Invitae Corporation (NYSE: NVTA), a leading medical genetics company, are presenting research this week at the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) 37th Annual Conference in Atlanta that helps push forward the science and practice of genetics in patient care. In addition to its research presentations, the company is supporting the Code Talker award, which recognizes excellence in the field of genetic counseling.
The company's wide-ranging research presentations, which include plenary, platform and poster presentations, add to both the science and practice of the fast-growing field of medical genetics. Among the company's presentations are studies highlighting the potential of genetic testing to increase early diagnosis of pediatric epilepsy, along with presentations underscoring the importance of high quality medical genetic testing and genetic counseling services as consumer use of genetic health screening continues to grow. In addition to addressing current issues in clinical care, the company presented new research examining the frequency of mosaic and copy number variant findings in a large dataset and an approach to gene curation designed to enable objective, high-quality genetic variant interpretation at scale.
"The NSGC annual meeting is an important opportunity to look deeply at both the science and practice of genetic medicine to improve clinicians' ability to leverage genetic information to benefit patients' healthcare," said Robert Nussbaum, M.D., chief medical officer of Invitae. "Genetic counselors play an essential role in navigating new advances on behalf of patients. We are proud and grateful to be able to join our colleagues in collaborations that move genetic medicine forward while we honor practitioners that exemplify excellence in patient care."
Code Talker Award Honors Excellence in Genetic Counseling
In addition to the research presentations at the meeting, Invitae and NSGC will present the 4th annual Code Talker award in a ceremony at the NSGC Annual Conference. The Code Talker award was established to honor excellence in genetic counseling patient care as recognized by patients themselves. Nominations include stories from patients that highlight both the clinical and personal impact a genetic counselor had on their lives and the lives of their families. This year's ceremony honors the following three finalists:
