Clinical Genome Variant Analysis 2 is designed to broaden and further develop the basic understanding and principles of variant curation taught in Clinical Genome Variant Analysis 1. Application of software and genomic database for collation of evidence for curation will be covered in detail.
The subject will be taught as an 5 week intensive, blended (on-line and face-to-face) subject, commencing mid-semester.
The subject provides a sound foundation for participation in multidisciplinary clinical discussions on genomic testing and analysis,and would be useful preparatory learning for laboratory scientists and clinical staff training in variant curation.
Completion of Clinical Genome Variant Analysis 1 to a grade of 70% or higher is a prerequisite for this subject.
Intended learning outcomes
Students will demonstrate an ability to interpret human genomic information in a clinical setting by:
- Interpreting human genomic information by using evidence to classify variants based on guidelines; and
- interpreting human genomic information in a clinical setting by describing how the process of clinical genome variant analysis is integral to generation of a clinical report.
Generic skills
- Describe the bioinformatics pipeline associated with whole exome and genome sequencing and variant curation
- Apply software and genomic databases for collation of evidence
- Understand the principles of variant classification
- Interpret variant curation reports
- Appreciate the role of variant curation and its interpretation within the clinical genetics setting
