Precision medicine demands a team effort to ensure accurate diagnosis, appropriate genomic testing, and integration of tumor and germline genetic findings into a comprehensive plan for optimal patient care. In this session, a multidiscipinary team including pathologists, oncologists, molecular diagnosticians, and informaticians will tackle two real-life clinical challenges. These case-based sessions will examine the performance of different technologies in the detection of challenging but clinically important genomic variants, the critical role of bioinformatics in detection and annotation of DNA variants, and the ultimate clinical implications.
