Genome Medical will use Fabric Genomics’ clinical interpretation
platform, , for ongoing examination of its patients’ genomic data
to augment data analysis and annotation in collaboration with its
laboratory partners. News of the partnership will be highlighted this
week at the in ÃÛÁÄÖ±²¥, the in California, and the in
Ohio.
Cost-effective sequencing can now yield insight into diseases that are
amenable to prevention as well as to precise intervention. While the
tools for sequencing are readily available, resources for interpreting
results and helping patients understand the information are less
accessible.
Through this partnership, Genome Medical’s expert team of physicians and
genetic counselors will be able to turn to Fabric Enterprise to augment
the information provided to individuals and clinicians. Genome Medical’s
workflow will now provide an end-to-end offering by helping patients and
physicians decide whether they need a test, how to order the right test,
interpreting the results, integrating the results into subsequent
medical decisions, and reinterpreting DNA over the course of treatment
if applicable.
“By combining our expertise in genome interpretation with Genome
Medical’s team of physicians and genetic counselors, we can offer
patients and physicians a clinical solution by combining genomic
knowledge with patient care to improve their health,†explains Martin
Reese, Ph.D., CEO at Fabric Genomics. “Genome Medical brings a critical
missing link to patients through their world-class genetic medical
expertise, plus a strong medical practice foundation. This partnership
is key to helping both patients and clinicians understand their genetic
variants and discover if they have a disease, or are at risk of
developing a disease.â€
“Year by year, our knowledge about how genetics affects health and our
ability to apply this knowledge to improve patient health grows
dramatically,†said Steven Bleyl, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at
Genome Medical. “We believe genomic medicine is a lifelong journey. To
that end, it will be increasingly important that our clinicians have the
right tools to view, query, interpret and re-interpret our
patients’ genetic information over time. We have partnered with Fabric
Genomics to meet that crucial need.â€
