Roses: Accuracy is 'informative for disease'. Looking at AD (Alzheimers) - 3 GWAS SNPs illustrated; 150kb, 50kb, and 20kb away #PMLS2016

8:13pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Roses: Thus this variation is missed by GWAS and NGS; 'Where are you @PacBio ?' #PMLS2016

8:10pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Roses: Several million SSVs throughout the genome; not sequenced via NGS - 'a dirty little secret' due to polyT limit of 8-10 bp #PMLS2016

8:09pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Roses: polyT-length variants as an example of SSV: up to 30 different lengths at that point. Thus much more informative than a SNP #PMLS2016

8:07pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Roses: Genomic disorders (Jim Lupski) not from point mutations but due to duplications / deletions. SSV: short structural var #PMLS2016

Meyer: For 'n of one', a single tribe? A single population? #PMLS2016

7:59pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Meyer: For pre-natal, the need to go to NIPT rather than other screening options. Population-level impact not high. #PMLS2016

7:59pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Q: Do couples practice PGD in Saudi Arabia? Meyer: Can't be offered widely. 40% couples who do go ahead & marry, PGS challenges #PMLS201

7:58pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Lopez-Correa: France announces 350M Euro for personalized genomes project; yet little datasharing. Need to rethink privacy, legal #PMLS2016

Sheffield: The UK weather data collected; amateurs just as good as official sources. 'Regulation won't keep up with technology' #PMLS2016

7:47pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Lopez-Correa: A huge challenge - people are eager to learn, ready to adopt and embrace, but the healthcare system isn't ready #PMLS2016

7:45pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Q: Benefit of 23andMe for healthcare? Lopez-Correa: They came to Canada. Pts are buying tests, health system tries to educate #PMLS2016

7:44pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Tan: Their goal is to shift the model to wellness. Precision Health - addressing a global trend that spending is unsustainable #PMLS2016

7:42pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Canada has high-quality care; other challenges? Lopez-Correa: Rural areas has disparities. No clear referrals, #PMLS2016

7:41pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Meyer: Education needs to be taken in the social and cultural context; why not just say 'don't marry your cousins'? #PMLS2016

7:38pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Meyer: Now can give pre-marriage counselling, screening beforehand. 60% rate of people who choose not to marry; savings of $1B/y #PMLS2016

7:28pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Meyer: Negative on panels were enriched for discovery; goal is 20K WGS on the population. 15K samples, 3K WES: good snapshot #PMLS2016

7:28pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Meyer: Working with TMO, developed a 2K gene, 13-panel 'Mendeliome' to test for every Mendelian condition #PMLS2016

Lopez-Correa: Economic studies, ROI, QALY: why not combine, aggregate data to make a stronger case for Personalized Medicine? #PMLS2016

7:19pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Lopez-Correa: Genome BC - 7 indep centers, close collab, mandate to promote usage of genomics. 80% funding into human health #PMLS2016

7:17pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Tan: Prevalent cancers are stomach and liver, contrasted to NAm. Interested in federated data sharing. #PMLS2016

Dickinson: Larry Page 'we move too fast to be involved in regulated indust'. Naive to assume adoption will change quickly as tech #PMLS2016

5:56pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Q: Tech co's drive the market Dickinson: Many general tech co's getting into healthcare (ie Calico and Verily). Can IT be applied? #PMLS2016

5:55pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Q: Why is it hard to implement new tech for PM? Bruns: A higher hurdle for validating newer technologies outside genomics #PMLS2016

5:54pm August 11th 2016 via Hootsuite

Dickinson: A ways to go w/oncology; ctDNA for healthy screening has challenges to 'get it through' #PMLS2016
