LLMs may play an important role in variant classification in the future... #vus

Can LLMs improve the accuracy of genetic variant classification, particularly for variants of uncertain significance (VUS)? @arxiv #Oncodesign "Integrating Large Language Models for Genetic Variant Classification" • Research explores how machine learning can enhance genetic…

Genetic testing often identifies variants of uncertain significance (VUS), but not all VUS are equal. A study of 4 labs investigates subclassifying VUS—some are more likely to reclassify as pathogenic or benign. #Genomics #VUS #PrecisionMedicine @ambrygenetics @BaylorGenetics

Fantastic news for FLVCR1 patients. @GIMJournal published these breakthrough findings from the team @BaylorGenetics #FLVCR1 #Diagnosis

Dr. @DanielGCalame, @LupskiLab et al show how one gene provided diagnoses for 30 patients whose condition was unexplained for years #FLVCR1 @bcmhouston @bcmgenetics @GREGoR_research, NL Nguyen, @BaylorGenetics @GIMJournal bcm.edu/news/one-gene-…

VUS Almost 50% of variants are classified as variants of uncertain significance, therefore it's extremely important to correctly interpret this information. @OncoAlert #ASCO24

Exciting findings from this study: after just one year, 40% of patients with an uncertain diagnosis finally received clarity. A significant step forward in patient care! 📊🔍 Check it out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39462520/ #VUS


Check out this insightful paper on rare pediatric neurological diseases! It evaluates the utility of four annotation tools for accurate patient diagnosis. Let’s improve diagnostic yield and enhance outcomes for these kids #Pediatrics #Genetics #Neurology nature.com/articles/s4159…


Insightful @Nature_NPJ paper on the role of AI modeling in VUS classification. While progress has been made, current deep learning models still have limited clinical utility for predicting VUS pathogenicity in many hereditary cancer genes. Read more here: nature.com/articles/s4169…


Exciting news! FBN1 variant c.6724C>T (p.[Arg2242Cys]) has been downgraded from pathogenic to benign. Positive progress for Marfan syndrome! 🎉 #Genetics #MarfanSyndrome onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…


📄 Check out this Canadian clinical practice advisory document—it's a thorough review of the current state of recontact in genetic testing. jmg.bmj.com/content/jmedge… 🇨🇦🔍 #VUS #Recontact @GeneticistsCCMG


🎉 Exciting news! Familial testing has led to the reclassification of a VUS in CCDC22, classifying it as Likely Pathogenic for Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome-2. 🌟🔬 gimopen.org/article/S2949-… #GeneticTesting #RitscherSchinzelSyndrome #VUS


🔍 This paper provides illuminating insights into the ongoing challenges faced even after a VUS is reclassified. A must-read for patients navigating oncology! 📚✨ acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cn… #GeneticTesting #VUS #CancerResearch
