Rapid WGS available for children with cancer

Children diagnosed with or suspected of having cancer may be able to join a trial aiming to provide whole genome sequencing results within days rather than months. The work is part of a new NHS Genomic Network of Excellence and follows research at Addenbrooke's Hospital.

Research published today suggests more than half of children could have treatments improved if whole genome sequencing results could be available within days of diagnosis.

East Genomics are leading a new NHS Genomic Network of Excellence aiming to develop this service for use nationally.
