New approach successfully traces genomic variants back to genetic disorders

Medical Xpress

National Institutes of Health researchers have published an assessment of 13 studies that took a genotype-first approach to patient care. The study was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics. This approach contrasts with the typical phenotype-first approach to clinical research, which starts with clinical findings.

To Share or Not to Share Failed Genetic Screening Results with Patients

Worldwide Clinical Trials

When using genetic screening to identify clinical trial volunteers, a sponsor’s obligations for further testing and disclosure of results to patients and families are unclear, especially when the results have no impact on medical management. Guidance in this area is much needed. Read the full article!

Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

In 2016, scientists behind a study called the Resilience Project analysed genetic data from 589,000+ people and found 13 adults who carried genetic variants that should have resulted in serious – even deadly – childhood disease, but who were apparently healthy. Giving participants something in return. Navigating the right not to know.

FDA Makes Low-Risk Determination for Marketing of Products from Genome-Edited Beef Cattle After Safety Review

The Pharma Data

Decision Regarding Slick-Haired Cattle is Agency’s First Enforcement Discretion Decision for an Intentional Genomic Alteration in an Animal for Food Use. The IGA results in the equivalent genotype (genetic make-up) and short-hair coat trait seen in some conventionally bred cattle, known as a “slick” coat. Today, the U.S.
