Illumina Announces TruGenome Undiagnosed Disease Test

Illumina

today announced the launch of its TruGenome Undiagnosed Disease Test provided by the CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited Illumina Clinical Services Laboratory (ICSL). This new service uses whole human genome sequencing to assist physicians in identifying the underlying genetic cause of a rare or undiagnosed disease. By providing physicians with more comprehensive information from a single test, the service enables a broader understanding of the genetic basis for disease. The ICSL uses proven Illumina next-generation sequencing technology to provide a complete picture of the genome. Illumina's team of Ph.D. geneticists and certified medical geneticists with expertise in reviewing whole-genome data as it pertains to genetic disease performs the analysis using Illumina's VariantStudio software for
