The Institute for Maternal and Child Health IRCCS “Burlo Garofolo” has adopted the full enGenome’s bioinformatics stack (enGenome Germline PipelineTM and eVaiTM) for the analysis of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) data.
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) is a powerful technology with remarkable impacts on the diagnosis of hereditary disorders. However, in order to unlock its full potential and use it in routine clinical practice, an accurate, fast and reproducible bioinformatics analysis is needed.
In this webinar, our guest speakers Dr. Girotto, Dr. Morgan and Dr. Lenarduzzi will explain how WES, combined with the enGenome’s software solution, is able to jointly detect and interpret SNV, INDEL and CNV, thus allowing to rapidly and successfully support the diagnosis of:
A child with a congenital sensorineural hearing loss of moderate degree
An adult patient affected by arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
A newborn affected by congenital dilated cardiomyopathy and altered fatty acids metabolism
