World leading next generation newborn screening
Atlas uses targeted gene sequencing to enable high quality, high throughput, cost effective testing.
Atlas uses targeted gene sequencing to enable high quality, high throughput, cost effective testing.
Atlas can be incorporated into newborn screening programs today.
Atlas uses targeted gene sequencing to sidestep the challenges of whole genome/exome sequencing.
Atlas Targeted Newborn Screening | Whole Genome/Exome Newborn Screening | |
---|---|---|
Genes sequenced | Customisable, from 1 to 132 | > 20,000 untargted |
Cost | Cost effective | Higher than targeted sequencing |
Analytical performance | Sensitivty & specifcity >99% | Sensitivty & specifcity not published |
Throughput | High | Low |
Potential for uncertainties and incidental/secondary findings | Low, removed due to panel design | High |
Implementation | Ready | In research phase |
