This integrated solution will allow for the analysis of specific sets of genetic hereditary disorders of interest, including
inherited cancers, cystic fibrosis, inherited cardiovascular diseases, universal carrier screening and various other hereditary
conditions.
“Genetic laboratories are eager to gain deeper insights into a range of hereditary diseases by using the power of NGS
technology, but have been held back by the lack of complete workflows and powerful bioinformatics solutions. We are pleased to
offer the first complete Sample to Insight solution for analysis of hereditary diseases. Our solution, anchored by the GeneReader
NGS System, provides the complete solution that labs need to efficiently and reliably perform genetic analysis,” said Peer M.
