Somatic Genomic Testing and Variant Curation Practices in Australian and New Zealand Diagnostic Testing

This 11-minute conference talk from the Cancer Genomics Consortium (CGC) 2024 Annual Meeting explores somatic genomic testing and variant curation practices in Australian and New Zealand diagnostic testing laboratories. Presented by Grace Pendlebury, learn about the current methodologies, challenges, and best practices employed by diagnostic laboratories in Australia and New Zealand for cancer genomic testing. Gain insights into how these laboratories identify and interpret genomic alterations to ensure accurate cancer diagnosis and appropriate therapy selection. The Cancer Genomics Consortium represents clinical cytogeneticists, molecular geneticists, and molecular pathologists dedicated to education and promoting best practices in clinical cancer genomics, with the vision that all cancer patients receive accurate genomic diagnoses to guide their treatment.
