How genomics is changing clinical practice The use of genetics and genomics in medicine is not new. Genetic techniques were first used to diagnose human conditions back in the 1950s with the identification of genetic conditions such as Down and Turner syndromes. Each year, more Medicare item numbers for genetic and genomic testing are introduced, bringing genomics into mainstream medicine.
In this webinar, clinical geneticists Rani Sachdev and Michel Tchan will describe the practical application of genomic testing in a variety of specialities, including paediatrics, cancer, cardiology and neurology. To provide a practical context, genetic counsellor Elle Martin, and paediatrician Chris Elliot will discuss the use of genomic testing in search of a diagnosis for children with global developmental delay/intellectual disability.
