The partnership will address some critical issues in pharmacogenetic assay through sequencing workflows improvement SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 21 April 2022 - MGI , a company committed to being a world-leading life science innovator, today announced a partnership with Nalagenetics (NALA) to co-develop low coverage whole genome sequencing for risk prediction and pharmacogenomics through optimizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflow based on MGI's sequencing devices and products*.
The collaboration aims to use NALA' Clinical Decision Support, a software medical device, to be able to analyze whole genome sequencing data sets generated by MGI's DNBSEQTM sequencing platform*, and generate clinical-grade reports for pharmacogenomics and polygenic risk scores. Although NGS has been known to be an effective way to capture a large amount of genomic information to guide and tailor clinical management and treatment,[1] NGS workflows are complicated and not trivial to adopt in clinical settings. NALA is dedicated to help implement clinical genetic testing in Southeast Asia with strong expertise in pharmacogenetics, assay development, and AI-linked genetics analysis for pharmacological phenotypes and risk prediction.
"We see more and more hospitals adopting sequencing for personalization of medicine in oncology, cardiovascular conditions, and others. One of the biggest challenges is recommending follow up action that makes sense for the local market, for example list of alternative therapies and screening procedures that lead to cost-effectiveness. We are glad to work with MGI to co-develop products and offer services to answer local needs," said Levana Sani, CEO of Nalagenetics.
