has announced the addition of the "Reproductive Genetic Diagnostics
- Advances in Carrier Screening, Preimplantation Diagnostics and
POC Testing ( Boston, MA - 18th/19th November 2015)" conference to
their offering.
Rapidly evolving technologies are transforming the way
reproductive genetic diagnostics and screening are performed, but
the differences, limitations, and benefits of these new
technologies remain unclear to some. Cambridge Healthtech
Institute's Inaugural Reproductive Genetic Diagnostics conference
aims to examine the latest technologies, including next-generation
sequencing (NGS) and quantitative PCR, and their benefits and
applications in carrier screening, preimplantation diagnostics, and
product of conception (POC) testing.
As these technologies develop and become widespread, we must
understand their capabilities, where each technology is best
applied, and be sure that they have been analytically and
clinically validated. Furthermore, as the technology outpaces
practices, we must take a critical eye to the ethical implications
of the applications of these technologies, including the regions of
the genome that should be sequenced and the types and amount of
sequence variation that is necessary for diagnosis. Join this event
with your colleagues to meet with clinicians, researchers,
developers, and key thought leaders and to examine these
topics.
