P726: Provenance/identity testing in genome sequencing: A single institution’s experience
The increasing use of genome sequencing (GS) as a first-tier diagnostic tool for pediatric and adolescent individuals with suspected genetic conditions has brought significant improvements in diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. However, issues related to sample integrity, such as identity mismatches (sample swap), sample contamination, and incidental findings (eg, misattributed parentage (MP) in duo/trio testing), remain a challenge for clinical laboratories. To address these issues, clinical laboratories are required to establish stringent quality control (QC) measures in sample handling and provenance to ensure accurate bioinformatics processing and integrity of identity throughout the testing process.
