Summary

The clinical use of genetic testing is expanding and, as a result, the number of variants identified in patients is growing. Knowledge of the clinical impact of these variants improves over time. However, the combination of more testing and the rapid evolution of genetic knowledge make it impossible for clinicians to fully account for the latest implications of their patients' genetic profiles as patient care decisions are made. This proposed study plans to enhance and evaluate IT infrastructure developed to provide timely genetic variant updates and patient search functionality to clinicians to assist in optimizing patient care.

Interventions

DEVICE

GeneInsight Clinic (GIC)

GeneInsight Clinic (GIC) is a clinical interface tool that provides genetics IT support infrastructure designed to address key genetic data and knowledge management issues. The GIC enables the delivery of patient specific alerts when new information is learned about a variant after it has been reported to a treating clinician. The prototype for this study shows multiple tests, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy test updates, hearing loss test updates and broad spectrum genotyping test updates. Our intention is to build this functionality in a scalable manner that will ultimately accommodate whole genome sequencing.
