Part 1: AI-Powered Hereditary Disease Diagnostics: Closing the Gap in Clinical Exome Completeness

October 12, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Clinical exome sequencing (CES) is increasingly being adopted by small and mid-sized laboratories to diagnose genetic diseases, aid treatment decisions, and provide prognostic information. However, the exponential increase in genetic data generated from exome and genome panels poses significant workflow challenges. The ability to prioritize potentially pathogenic variants from large datasets and identify the few candidate variants becomes more difficult. This issue is further amplified in cases where labs must use deep phenotyping of patients and compare that to reference genotype-phenotype knowledge associated with each candidate variant. To overcome these challenges, labs are beginning to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their variant analysis, interpretation and reporting workflows.

Join us for our 2023 Clinical Hereditary Disease Diagnostics Summit, a free-to-attend, two-part event exploring the opportunities and limitations of AI in hereditary disease diagnostics. Designed to help clinical diagnostic labs learn how to safely apply AI to exome and genome sequencing workflows, the content-rich event will feature invited lectures from lab directors and clinical geneticists, thought-provoking discussions on the future of hereditary disease diagnostics, as well as educational presentations on the latest databases and AI-powered software for germline secondary and tertiary analysis.

Part I: Educational talks – October 12, 2023

An education session exploring the latest databases, software, and services for germline secondary and tertiary NGS analysis. Topics will include:

  • How labs can achieve clinical exome completeness with AI-enriched and manually curated content
  • How labs can apply enhanced phenotype-driven ranking in clinical cases
  • How labs can safely use a “smart” approach to AI to reach the best possible chance of reaching a diagnosis

  • Indication expansion and drug repurposing using QIAGEN OmicSoft and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis

    Research and development for new drugs and disease treatments can be lengthy and costly. Indication expansion can help broaden the impact of a new drug that has already been through the arduous R&D process for a disease or cancer. Drug repurposing can take this concept and expand on it by looking for other diseases with similar drug target biology. The logic is if...

This session is for part I of this training. In this session, you'll learn to use QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench to perform se...

  • Part II: Single-cell RNA sequencing data interpretation using QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis

    This two-part series will walk you through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis starting with a matrix file or FASTQ files and ending with a deep understanding of key pathways, regulators and cell type signatures within your data. In this session, we'll explore how you can take your scRNA-seq differential expression results produced from QIAGEN CLC Genom...

  • Immune repertoire analysis using QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench

    The composition of the immune repertoire, consisting of the T cell and B cell receptors (TCR and BCR), is important for an organism's adaptive immune system and plays a pivotal role in an individual's overall health. Understanding the complex array of TCR and BCR allows for developing precision medicine and immunotherapy. Analyzing next-generation sequencing (NGS) dat...

  • Compare and contextualize your results using QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis

    Take your QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) analyses to the next level by comparing them to your own analyses (different time points, treatments, cell lines, diseases and more) or to a library of over 100K precomputed datasets to find similar or opposite biological signatures. Identify key genes or entities and then explore how they are expressed across normal t...

  • Drug treatment, toxicology and target safety assessment using QIAGEN IPA and OmicSoft

    In this 90-minute training, you'll learn how to perform drug treatment, toxicology and target safety assessment-related discoveries using QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) and QIAGEN Omicsoft Lands. Using public data from GTEx (normal tissue), GEO, cancer collections and more, you'll learn how to use Omicsoft Lands to: • Investigate a drug target or biom...
