About this ad board
An exclusive ad board report featuring insights from leading pediatric clinicians on the current state of genomic sequencing in India. Explore real-world adoption trends, clinical workflows, and emerging opportunities that are shaping the future of pediatric precision medicine.
Based on in-depth interviews with clinicians at leading tertiary pediatric hospitals in Bengaluru, spanning pediatric hematology, genetics, immunology and general pediatrics. For each study question, the report distils the key takeaways alongside curated quotes from the panel.
Study questions
01How do you currently use genomic sequencing (gene panels, exome, genome) in your clinical practice, and how has this changed in the last 2 to 3 years?
02For which clinical presentations or conditions do you most commonly order a sequencing test, and what does your decision pathway look like before you reach that decision?
03What are the biggest barriers you face when trying to order a genomic test for a pediatric patient, and which of these do you feel is hardest to overcome?
04How do you handle the interpretation and clinical reporting of sequencing results? Do you have a clinical geneticist or genetic counselor involved, and what happens when the result is a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)?
05How do your patients and their families typically respond when you recommend a genomic test? What are their main concerns or misconceptions, and how do you usually counsel them?
06Are you aware of or part of any rare disease registries, biobanks or research programs involving genomic data in India? Is there adequate infrastructure today for building population-level genomic knowledge specific to Indian pediatric patients?
07How do you expect genomic sequencing to evolve in pediatric practice in India over the next 2 to 3 years? Which conditions or patient groups will see the biggest uptake, and what would need to change for that to happen?
08Are there specific diseases or patient groups where sequencing is critically needed but currently underutilised? If so, why has it not been adopted more widely?
