CGDS granted continuing funding to extend our Patient-Centered WGS-Driven Pilot Study in Prader Willi Syndrome.

The study, which began enrolling participants in May 2021, uses whole genome and RNA sequence analysis to identify how variations in patients’ DNA influence the range and severity of PWS symptoms and response to treatments. Aiding patient cohorts and individual patients with rare, undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed disease is the primary focus of our expert team. We’re honored that FPWR chose our team for this study.

As part of the initiative, FPWR will return pathogenic variants in genes on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Secondary Findings list (ACMG SF v3.0) to participants and has enlisted health technology company My Gene Counsel to help return these results in a safe and responsible way.
