Next Generation Sequencing: From Research Area to Clinical Practice.
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Translating the power of high-throughput sequencing technologies from research area into clinical medicine is one of the major goal for several researchers and health-care providers. One of the important advantages of these technologies is that they can be successfully used in a numerous range of clinical applications. The efficiency of sequencing, that can now be achieved, is leading impressive progress in the diagnostics of common and rare genetic disorders, inherited forms of cancer, prenatal testing or infectious diseases, to cite some examples. Despite several challenges and limitations still remain to overcome, the high-throughput sequencing technologies are leading to real and unprecedented benefits for the medical care of patients.
