Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (rWGS) and Precision Medicine in Pediatrics

Speaker: Caleb Bupp, MD, Andrea Scheurer Monaghan, MD, Joseph Fakhoury, MD

There will be more patients in a position to benefit from rWGS as the cost of testing decreases and access to testing increases.

Increase pediatricians understanding of rWGS from testing information to patient impact. Primary care pediatricians may follow more patients with this testing performed, hoping to empower them with ongoing care coordination.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand testing specific to rWGS

• Explore the impact of genomic diagnosis on clinical outcomes

• Provide information on genomic resources for pediatricians to help improve the general knowledge about precision medicine in pediatrics
