Genomics in action
The power of a genetic diagnosis
Whole genome and whole exome sequencing are helping to provide clarity for patients with a rare disease, many of whom have been without a diagnosis for several years. In this film, Beskida Fejzullahu talks about what having a diagnosis has meant for her family.
This film forms part of the Genomic Education Programme’s Clinical Genetics in Action series, created in collaboration with the Royal College of Physicians.
How is genomics used in cancer care?
Advances in genomic technologies and our understanding of the genome are changing the way we care for patients and families affected by cancer.
Learn more from Dr Clare Turnbull, senior researcher at the Institute of Cancer Research, who explains how experts are using genomics to transform and improve cancer care. You can learn more about cancer genomics and the use of whole genome sequencing on Genomic England’s website.
The realisation of personalised medicine
Advances in genomics are making truly personalised medicine a possibility, particularly in oncology. Here, specialist registrar and clinical research fellow Dr Alison Berner talks about the exciting developments in the analysis of mutational signatures in tumour DNA.
This film forms part of the Genomic Education Programme’s Clinical Genetics in Action series, created in collaboration with the Royal College of Physicians.
Genomic Education Programme Clinical Pathway Initiative
The Genomic Education Programme (GEP)’s Clinical Pathway Initiative is supporting the delivery of the transformation projects where there are new genomics networks growing eg. Lynch, monogenic diabetes, pathology, nursing and midwifery.
