While many genetic diseases have effective treatments, they frequently progress rapidly to severe morbidity or mortality if those treatments are not implemented immediately. Since front-line physicians frequently lack familiarity with these diseases, timely molecular diagnosis may not improve outcomes. Herein we describe Genome-to-Treatment, an automated, virtual system for genetic disease diagnosis and acute management guidance. Diagnosis is achieved in 13.5 h by expedited whole genome sequencing, with superior analytic performance for structural and copy number variants. An expert panel adjudicated the indications, contraindications, efficacy, and evidence-of-efficacy of 9911 drug, device, dietary, and surgical interventions for 563 severe, childhood, genetic diseases. The 421 (75%) diseases and 1527 (15%) effective interventions retained are integrated with 13 genetic disease information resources and appended to diagnostic reports (https://gtrx.radygenomiclab.com). This system provided correct diagnoses in four retrospectively and two prospectively tested infants. The Genome-to-Treatment system facilitates optimal outcomes in children with rapidly progressive genetic diseases.
Rapid diagnosis and implementation of treatments is crucial in many genetic conditions. Here the authors describe Genome-to-Treatment, a virtual disease management system that can achieve a rapid diagnosis by expedited whole genome sequencing in 13.5 hours and provide guidance to clinicians for possible therapies.
虽然许多遗传性疾病有有效的治疗方法,但如果不立即实施这些治疗,它们往往会迅速发展为严重的发病状态或导致死亡。由于一线医生往往对这些疾病缺乏了解,及时的分子诊断可能无法改善结果。在此我们描述了“基因组到治疗”(Genome - to - Treatment),这是一个用于遗传性疾病诊断和急性治疗指导的自动化虚拟系统。通过加速全基因组测序,可在13.5小时内完成诊断,对于结构变异和拷贝数变异具有优异的分析性能。一个专家小组对563种严重的儿童遗传性疾病的9911种药物、器械、饮食和手术干预措施的适应证、禁忌证、疗效和疗效证据进行了判定。保留的421种(75%)疾病和1527种(15%)有效干预措施与13种遗传性疾病信息资源整合,并附在诊断报告中(https://gtrx.radygenomiclab.com)。该系统对4例回顾性和2例前瞻性检测的婴儿做出了正确诊断。“基因组到治疗”系统有助于患有快速进展性遗传性疾病的儿童获得最佳治疗效果。
