Abstract excerpt
Children with genetic diseases endure a prolonged and costly "diagnostic odyssey." The use of whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) has improved the diagnosis rate, ending the odyssey. However, the additional costs associated WES/WGS has impeded their adoption in Asian settings. We aim to estimate the expected change to the mean number of diagnostic tests used, and the associated costs...
