Les modifications de pratique clinique liées à l’arrivée du séquençage haut débit dans le diagnostic génétique des maladies du développement

Abstract Introduction The arrival of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has led to a sweeping change in the diagnosis of developmental abnormalities (DA) with or without intellectual deficiency (ID). With the prospect of deploying these new technologies, two questions have been raised: the representations of HTS among geneticists and the costs incurred due to these analyses. Methods Geneticists attending a clinical genetics seminar were invited to complete a questionnaire. The statistical analysis was essentially descriptive and an analysis of costs was undertaken. Results Of those responding to the questionnaire, 48% had already prescribed exome analysis and 25% had already had the occasion …
