Overview
Powerful new technologies have been driving forward immense and exciting changes in clinical practice.
Genomic Technologies in Clinical Diagnostics - Next Generation Sequencing at St George's, University of London by FutureLearn has been approved for distance-learning continuing professional development (CPD) by the Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath): for 10 CPD credits.
Key facts:
- The days of peering down the microscope to detect chromosome abnormalities are gone, replaced by chromosome analysis at the genomic level.
- Invasive Down syndrome tests in pregnancy have made way for the evaluation of fetal DNA in maternal blood.
- And instead of laborious gene-by-gene targeted sequencing, we can now sequence all of our genes in parallel in a single experiment.
