With the development of genomic tools, there has been increasing awareness of germline variants associated with cancer predisposition. Maturing technologies, such as next‑generation sequencing (NGS), have made the identification of hereditary cancer (CGx) variants fast and affordable enough for clinical use. Despite these advances, significant challenges remain for high‑complexity CLIA laboratories to adopt CGx. These include domain knowledge of NGS, genomic interpretation of germline variants, production‑level processes in the laboratory to meet turnaround time demands, and the reimbursement landscape. In this webinar, Jeremy Stuart will outline these and other challenges his laboratory has faced as they developed, validated, and established production-level CGx testing.
