The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) aims to launch a pilot genetic biobank that will gather patient data to associate drug-related adverse events to their genetic makeup. The Yellow Card biobank will launch as a joint venture with the UK-government funded entity Genomics England on June 1.

In 2018, the UK’s department of health announced an NHS Genomic Medicine Service, which allows patients with rare diseases to have their entire genetic code read in the hope of providing a much-needed diagnosis. Consequently, the UK has established itself at the forefront of diagnostic whole genome sequencing. The study .

Chaired by the Genetic Alliance, the virtual meeting saw representatives from Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland discuss the implementation of the UK Government’s Rare Disease Framework. We now know that 80% of rare diseases have a genetic origin. Genomic technology, therefore, has a key role to play in our work,” he said.

Geneticist Dr Charles Steward has spent his career studying the human genome – but his work became much more personal when his children were diagnosed with severe neurological diseases. Charlie told pharmaphorum how his search for a genetic cause has led him to straddle the divide between scientist and patient advocate.

Every time a patient with a rare condition walks into a hospital, doctors face the probable challenge of starting from scratch. Genetic testing has played a big role in enhancing the diagnosis process. For instance, the UK government’s 100K Genomes Project has achieved its goal of sequencing the genomes of 100,000 people in 2019.

The Human Genome Project recently marked 20 years since the publication of the first full sets of human genomic sequences, an endeavor that spanned well over a decade. Today, new next-generation sequencing technologies allow for the sequencing of complex genomes within just a day or two. Rosalind Franklin.
