Brief description Whole genome sequencing has expanded our understanding of human diseases: genetic mutations in thousands of diseases can now be identified. The aim of this project is to translate genomic testing into clinical services so that patients can access this new technology to obtain a genetic diagnosis and improve their health outcomes and to develop a microsimulation model of the social and economic impacts of genetic disorders on families and government.
