Analysis of 2,658 WGS data from 38 cancer types over time reveals the evolutionary process of driver mutations in cancer. These often precede diagnosis by years, and may be utilized for early detection of cancer.

Multiple open-access publications from the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Project, based on WGS and integrative analysis on over 2,600 primary cancers and their matching normal tissues across 38 distinct tumor types.

Promising results for gene therapy of Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD).
After 12 months of treatment, 6 of 9 severely affected X-linked CGD (X-CGD) patients had no new CGD-related infections, & have been able to discontinue CGD-related antibiotics.

GWAS analysis of 70k exoms reveal 64 new gene-phenotype associations.
Singletons ,which cannot be discovered using micro-arrays, make significant contributions to the results, demonstrating the utility of NGS based GWAS.

Important update for gene classification of Inborn Errors of Immunity/Primary Immunodeficiencies. This includes 64 gene defects that have been discovered since the previous update (Jan 2018) or have been confirmed or expanded upon in subsequent studies.

Classification guidelines include "hotspots" for critical functional domains, but no corresponding "coldspots". New paper @GIMJournal shows that including such "coldspots" in BRCA1 & BRCA2, reclassifies 60% of missense ClinVar VUS into likely-Benign.

Genome sequencing for sick newborns is getting legs and someday will likely become standard practice. Now we're (@TheACMG) talking (points to consider) about fetal sequencing nature.com/articles/s41436-0… @GIMJournal #openaccess by Kristin Monaghan and colleagues
New paper by @_BIST employs smart clustering of somatic variants, based mainly on recurrence, linking them to separate clinically meaningful phenotypes. These methods may pave the way to replacing / augmenting multiple clinical diagnostics with WGS.

Re-analysis of ~100 rare disease and sudden death cases with @KingOfGenomes (nice handle) and @GenooxTeam uncovers missed pathogenic variants:

Re-analyze those old exomes! A small increase in yield is highly impactful for those with an updated report.
Interesting paper in @biorxivpreprint shows a cross-biobank association of polygenic risk scores & shorter life span. This further underscores PRSs potential role in informing medical interventions for long-term health preserving effects.

Excited our abstracts for #ACMGMtg20 were accepted, covering our AI-based SV classifier; and a case study of our AI-based small variants classifier, ClinVar time capsule experiment, yielding robust results.
Looking forward to meeting you all at #ACMGMtg20

#Variant classification and interpretation are important skills for #geneticcounselors. But it takes so long! ⏰
Streamline it for free with @GenooxTeam to access variant info including publications, ACMG classifications, phenotypes & more 🧬

New paper in @nature shows fungi progress cancer (specifically PDA), indicates a possible mechanism via MBL activation.
Beside broadening the potential for future treatments, this research path may help to better connect genetic analysis w/ clinical data.
