Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genomic sequencing offers the opportunity to screen for hundreds of rare genetic conditions. To minimize potential negative impact on families and clinical services, it is crucial to reduce false-positive results while prioritizing clinical utility. We present an automated variant prioritization approach in the Generation Study, a research study investigating genomic sequencing in 100,000 newborns in...
