Evaluating the Impact of ClinGen Variant Curation Expert Panel Criteria Specifications on Variant Interpretation across Multiple Genes
Gene-specific variant interpretation guidelines are constantly being published to refine variant classification. The development, implementation, and benefit of such guidelines require careful assessment. This study evaluates the utility of these guide…

Oncogenicity Variant Interpreter
Accurate and reproducible interpretation of somatic variants is fundamental for therapy decision-making in patients with cancer. To harmonize and automate oncogenicity classification, Oncogenicity Variant Interpreter (OncoVI), an open-source, Python-ba…

Certified Reference Materials for Standardization of Cell-Free DNA Isolation Recovery in Liquid Biopsy
Reliable quantification of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in liquid biopsy diagnostics critically depends on unbiased and reproducible isolation workflows. Fragment-length–dependent recovery during isolation represents a major source of pre-analytical bias. Thi…

Validation of a Low-Volume (100 μL) Plasma Protocol for HIV-1 RNA Quantification Using the Hologic Aptima HIV-1 Quant Dx Assay
Pediatric HIV-1 viral load monitoring is often limited by the small blood volumes that can be safely obtained from infants and young children. Standard assays typically require 0.5 to 0.7 mL of plasma, which can pose challenges in these settings. This …

Performance evaluation of a PCR/Nanopore assay for carrier screening for cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and fragile X syndrome
Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and Fragile X Syndrome are among the most common inherited genetic disorders making carrier screening essential for identifying at-risk couples. Traditional screening often involves multiple workflows and may m…

Diagnostic utility of SNPM microarray in evaluating pancreaticobiliary brushing specimens in conjunction with conventional cytology
Bile duct brushings are non-invasive sampling of cells from the biliary tract for cytological evaluation and are useful to diagnose pancreaticobiliary malignancies. Although specificity of cytology is satisfactory, sensitivity is inherently low due to …
