The deadline to submit a case for part two has closed, but you can still register now to attend the live webinar.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine how targeted reflex RNA sequencing can provide functional splicing evidence to reclassify a variant of uncertain significance and inform clinical management and family risk assessment.
- Evaluate a case with several clinical and psychosocial complexities while highlighting the importance of specimen type for germline testing.
- Gain understanding of the diagnosis of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) and the clinical significance in individuals with hemoglobinopathy.

Submitting a Case
Please submit a concise and comprehensive case description that includes the following elements:
- The patient’s chief complaint or indication for genetic evaluation.
- Any personal history relevant to this indication, including (when applicable) the onset and progression of symptoms, relevant pathology and age at diagnosis. Include the results of any prior evaluations pertinent to the case, such as imaging, laboratory studies or previous genetic testing.
- Describe the relevant family history, highlighting features that inform genetic risk assessment.
- Present the differential diagnosis, with a brief rationale for each condition considered and an explanation of why the patient’s history raises suspicion for these diagnoses.
- Conclude with the overall assessment and a proposed plan for future testing, noting results if they are already available.
