Category Standard Organisation Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) Type Standard Version 1 Access Open Status Active Created 2017 This document outlines the minimum best-practice requirements for medical pathology laboratories that conduct human genetic testing using massively parallel sequencing - also known as next-generation sequencing. This applies to all applications, including single gene, panel of genes, somatic testing, whole exome, whole genome and non-invasive prenatal testing. It takes a risk-based approach to defining standards for implementing these new technologies.Main sections:- Ethical issues and clinical governance- Personnel- Laboratory scope of testing- Wet laboratory procedures- IT infrastructure- Bioinformatics- Quality control and quality assurance- Extension of classification of human genetic tests (normative)- Key requirements of a genomic report (informative) Access Requirements for human medical genome testing utilising massively parallel sequencing technologies By accessing this content, you are leaving this website.
