| | MAY 202019UTLOOKHealthcare Tech assisted Rady Children's Hospital to detect possible illness-causing gene variants in neonates with genetic disorders. Collaborating with Fabric Genomics, Dr. Stephen Kingsmore, M.D., D.Sc., President and CEO of Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, was able to pioneer whole genome sequencing of infants in the intensive care unit (ICU), thereby driving newer ways to identify then treat genetic illnesses in newborn babies. Fabric Enterprise's ability to automate and speed genomic diagnosis has helped Dr. Kingsmore's team identify an underlying genetic cause of disease in one-third of patients, and importantly change course of treatment in 25 percent of patients. And in light of this newfound avenue for the rapid genomics-based diagnoses, Dr. Kingsmore and his team set a world record for the fastest genetic diagnosis at 19.5 hours and has published articles on the value of genomics in healthcare in leading peer-reviewed journals.Notably, the key to such success can be traced back to Fabric Genomics' tech-driven leadership team that has worked on the Human Genome Project and has published their work in top medical and genetic peer-reviewed journals. Furthermore, Reese believes that the highly passionate and capable team at Fabric Genomics is the key behind its continuous drive toward innovation in genomics. "We believe that by helping our clients impact their patients' outcomes, we can build valued, trusted partner relationships where our partners that want to innovate with us and explore new ways to help patients," he adds.Moving forward, the company is launching a solution that extends its whole genome analysis technology to enable hospitals and leading genome centers to achieve higher diagnostic rates, and also directly leverage existing healthcare records. Currently, this program is in its early access stage, and already, Fabric Genomics is witnessing a large number of leading hospitals and commercial labs signing up for it. Concurrently, Fabric Genomics is working to eliminate the fear of leveraging AI in genomics by ensuring transparency in results and investing in significant validation of technology. With this resolute mission, Fabric Genomics is perfectly poised to assist geneticists and clinicians in realizing the value of genomics-driven diagnostics in mainstream healthcare.
