Computation Biology Modeling (CBM) Based on NGS Data Provided By Otogenetics for Personalized Treatment of Non-responding Cancer Patients
Physicians, researchers and computation scientists used patient genomic sequencing and CNV data generated by Otogenetics in a clinical trial for identification of effective biological pathway targets unique to each individual cancer patient who had failed traditional treatment(s). The mathematical model…
Somatic activating mutations in MAP2K1 cause melorheostosis
Deep Exome Sequencing by Otogenetics for Clinical Researchers leads to discovery of key somatic mutations in MAP2K1 in melorheostotic* bones of patients. (*Melorheosis is characterized by excess bone formation on the surface of the bone. The bone overgrowth lesions are…
Otogenetics helps clinicians in discovery of a novel autosomal dominant hearing loss mutation
Otogenetics hearing loss gene test lend the tool for clinicians to discover an autosomal dominant hearing loss mutation in POU4F3 gene. This particular variant t cosegregated with hearing loss in family members but was not detected in 580 normal hearing…
