Very Brief Blog; JAMA Posts Article Series on Sequencing, WGS, Clinical Implementation

JAMA posts a UCSF new article on the clinical value of sequencing, including whole genome sequencing, and the need for implementation (translational) research.  JAMA includes callbacks to two recent articles.

• The new entry point is Phillips, Douglas, Marshall in JAMA online October 26, "Expanding Use of Clinical Genome Sequencing and the Need for More Data on Implementation."
• Here.
• Note the online supplemental table here.
• Webpage includes podcast interview with Howard Bauchner, Editor-in-Chief, and Prof. Phillips of UCSF (18 min).  Here.
• JAMA provides Wu et al., JAMA Pediatrics, June 2020, as a callback.
• "Ending the Diagnostic Odyssey: Is WGS the Answer?"
• Here.
• This article refers in part to the Diagnosic Odyssey Act, proposed as HR 4144.
• JAMA also links back to Feero, 2018, "Precision Medicine, Genome Sequencing, Population Health."
• Here.
• Feero in turns cites a National Academies 2018 conference report on implementing genomics, here.
