Comprehensive genomic profiling for advanced hemoglobinopathy carrier detection and precision diagnosis
Monday, November 19 at 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EST | 07:00 PST
Hemoglobinopathies are among the most prevalent severe monogenic disorders worldwide and are recognized by the WHO as an emerging global health concern. Their genetic complexity can make accurate carrier detection and diagnosis challenging, with important implications for reproductive counseling, risk assessment, and long-term patient management.
Traditional genotyping methods may identify only a limited range of variants, making them less effective in genetically diverse populations. Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) now offer a more comprehensive approach, helping laboratories detect a broader spectrum of clinically relevant variants with greater precision and efficiency.
In this SelectScience® webinar, held in partnership with Devyser, Professor Jan Traeger-Synodinos will explore how current and emerging genotyping technologies are advancing hemoglobinopathy testing. You will learn how optimized NGS strategies can address the complexity of globin gene loci, support more confident carrier detection, and strengthen diagnostic workflows for genomic profiling in carriers and patients.
Join the webinar to gain practical insight into how comprehensive genomic profiling, alongside robust hematological and clinical assessment, can help improve prevention strategies, diagnostic accuracy, and patient management.
