MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Personalis, Inc. today announced that it will be exhibiting at the European Society of Human Genetics Conference in Paris, France beginning Sunday, June 9, 2013. Personalis will launch its Genome Services for Research and Clinical samples, focusing on accuracy in sequencing, analysis, and interpretation of human genomes to the European market.

Personalis Genome Services include our Accuracy and Content Enhanced (ACE) Exome technology. Using additional custom targeted capture, we aim to finish genes in the medical exome and add medically interpretable content outside the exons. This has been shown to benefit work in medical genetics, pediatrics, cardiology, neurology, psychiatry, pharmacogenomics, and other areas of medicine.

Clinical quality genome interpretation also requires accurate and comprehensive databases of genetic variation. Personalis has the largest and most comprehensive manually-curated database in the world linking genetic variation with disease. We have also signed an exclusive license for commercialization of PharmGKB, the premier database linking genetic variation with drug metabolism and adverse events. Personalis also annotates genomes with information from over 30 databases. When combined with Personalis ACE (Accuracy and Content Enhanced) Technology for exome sequencing and powerful variant calling algorithms, researchers and clinicians are able to rapidly obtain the most comprehensive sequence analysis available. Personalis CEO, John West, stated We are pleased to extend this offering to the European community and are committed to expanding our global footprint to enable researchers and clinicians worldwide to take advantage of our products.

About Personalis

Personalis provides researchers and clinicians accurate DNA sequencing and interpretation of human genomes. Our ACE (Accuracy and Content Enhanced) Technology can supplement a standard exome or genome, substantially increasing its medically-relevant coverage and accuracy. Personalis builds on that with innovativealgorithms and proprietary databases for alignment, variant calling, annotation, and analysis. With this combination, we provide genomic data and interpretation of the highest accuracy.

Personalis has an exceptional team of scientific, medical and industry experts. Our R&D team brings directly relevant commercial experience from seven different DNA sequencing companies and scientific & medical expertise from the top universities in the world. This group has been deeply involved in many of the advances of recent years, and has a long track record of peer reviewed publications. We see enormous potential in human genome sequencings next big step: accurate interpretation.

The use of genome-wide analysis (GWA), where the entirety of an individual's DNA is examined to look for the genomic mutations or variants which can cause health problems is a massively useful technology for diagnosing disease. However, it can also pose major ethical problems if used incorrectly, say new recommendations from the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) published on line today (16 May 2013) in the European Journal of Human Genetics.

Many services based on whole genome and on exome* sequencing and analysis are now available to patients at an affordable price, and this raises the question of how to ensure that they are provided appropriately. "Such sequencing generates huge amounts of information that needs to be processed, analysed, and stored in a responsible manner", said Professor Martina Cornel, chair of the Professional and Public Policy Committee of ESHG. "It is preferable to use sequencing or analysis specifically targeted at a particular health problem to avoid unsolicited findings, or those that cannot yet be interpreted, which can cause considerable anxiety to patients and their families. Clear guidance on how to deal with such findings is needed."

Targeted analysis will limit such unsolicited findings, says the ESHG, and this is particularly important at present when there are only a limited number of clinicians properly trained to inform patients on the significance of the results of GWAs and exome sequencing. While the Society believes that the duty to inform patients may outweigh their right not to know in some circumstances, the new recommendations propose that analysis should be limited to genome regions linked to the clinical problem for which the analysis is being undertaken.

"We are opposed to the type of opportunistic screening that throws up large numbers of incidental results. If such results reveal a treatable or preventable condition, then clearly it is advantageous to patients to be informed about them.

But in the majority of cases it is very difficult to interpret exactly what such incidental results mean for patients and their families. The evidence currently available often comes from families with affected persons, but it is lacking on the interpretation of results in other situations. Furthermore, in genetics healthcare, autonomy is considered very important: patients should be allowed consent on what would be screened for and reported to them. We believe that it is premature today to look for such results other than the clinical problem in circumstances where there are no prior clinical indications or family history ", said Professor Cornel.

"A sustained effort to educate clinicians in genetics is needed in order to be able to cope with advances in analysis. We also believe that the Society has an important role to play in raising awareness of genetics among the general public. Only with the benefit of a general increase in genetic literacy can society become properly involved in the debate over who has the right to know what and in which circumstances," she said.

Professor GertJan van Ommen, Editor in Chief of the European Journal of Human Genetics, said: "The importance of this issue has been underlined by the US Government's Bioethics Advisory Panel's plans to report on how incidental findings encountered in genomics research should be handled. I believe that ESHG has made an important contribution to the debate, which will be further discussed at their conference in Paris in June."
