TLDR

This work reviews the diversity of approaches and current progress made by national genomic-medicine initiatives in the UK, France, Australia, and US and provides a roadmap for sharing strategies, standards, and data internationally to accelerate implementation.

Abstract:

Genomic sequencing is rapidly transitioning into clinical practice, and implementation into healthcare systems has been supported by substantial government investment, totaling over US$4 billion, in at least 14 countries. These national genomic-medicine initiatives are driving transformative change under real-life conditions while simultaneously addressing barriers to implementation and gathering evidence for wider adoption. We review the diversity of approaches and current progress made by national genomic-medicine initiatives in the UK, France, Australia, and US and provide a roadmap for sharing strategies, standards, and data internationally to accelerate implementation.

TL;DR: In conclusion, rapid genomic sequencing can be performed as a first-tier diagnostic test in inpatient infants and urWGS had the shortest time to result, which was important in unstable infants, and those in whom a genetic diagnosis was likely to impact immediate management.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the literature describing and quantifying time lags in the health research translation process and concluded that the current state of knowledge of time lag is of limited use to those responsible for R&D and knowledge transfer who face difficulties in knowing what they should or can do to reduce time lag.
