Genetic testing in clinical laboratory diagnostics: Present and future

https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2023-23-65-70

Abstract

   Authors discuss the current state and prospects for the development of genetic testing in clinical laboratory diagnostics, recent nucleic acids sequencing technologies, their advantages and applications. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become a standard practice in identifying SNPs to determine disease susceptibility, this approach has limitations. A novel approach is proposed: integrative genome-wide association analysis (iGWAS), which relies on gene expression information to investigate the associations between SNPs and disease phenotype. Numerous studies have shown that iGWAS can significantly facilitate the search for genetic correlations and is superior to a method that relies only on the search for SNPs. Genetic testing will facilitate the molecular-based reclassification of human diseases. Authors describe the technical aspects of nanopore sequencing, the development of an iPhone app to complement miniature sequencing devices, and the world’s first mobile genomic sequence analyzer, iGenomics.
