NGS gene panel tests Do the differences matter? different sets of genes be tested for the same disorder in different parts of the country missed diagnoses and poor patient care confusing for referring clinicians confusing for patients
Mechanism for defining consensus gene sets Formal approach: define what evidence should be used to inform the decision making to include a gene who multidisciplinary expert working groups co-ordination to ensure same evidence levels applied across different expert working groups output of the expert working groups to form part of the UKGTN genetic test evaluation process
January 2015 17 Gene dossier submissions from 7 labs Overlap within this group of dossiers Overlap with panels listed on the UKGTN website
Mechanism for defining consensus gene sets Informal approach Is there an interim, pragmatic, informal approach to agreeing minimum set of genes that should be tested for a given phenotype/group of disorders? If so what is it? Will it work for groups not using virtual panels?
