Research and Markets: Reproductive Genetic Diagnostics Seminar - Advances in Carrier Screening, Preimplantation Diagnostics and POC Testing (Boston, MA - 18th/19th November 2015)
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m7q5hg/reproductive)
has announced the addition of the "Reproductive
Genetic Diagnostics - Advances in Carrier Screening, Preimplantation
Diagnostics and POC Testing ( Boston, MA - 18th/19th November 2015)"
conference to their offering.
Rapidly evolving technologies are transforming the way reproductive
genetic diagnostics and screening are performed, but the differences,
limitations, and benefits of these new technologies remain unclear to
some. Cambridge Healthtech Institute's Inaugural Reproductive Genetic
Diagnostics conference aims to examine the latest technologies,
including next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative PCR (News - Alert), and
their benefits and applications in carrier screening, preimplantation
diagnostics, and product of conception (POC) testing.
As these technologies develop and become widespread, we must understand
their capabilities, where each technology is best applied, and be sure
that they have been analytically and clinically validated. Furthermore,
as the technology outpaces practices, we must take a critical eye to the
ethical implications of the applications of these technologies,
including the regions of the genome that should be sequenced and the
types and amount of sequence variation that is necessary for diagnosis.
Join this event with your colleagues to meet with clinicians,
researchers, developers, and key thought leaders and to examin these
topics.
