Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The VetSeq Study is a pilot intervention study exploring the feasibility of integrating genome sequencing into clinical care at the VA Boston Healthcare System.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The VetSeq Study is a pilot intervention study exploring the feasibility of integrating genome sequencing into clinical care at the VA Boston Healthcare System. Healthcare providers may refer any patients who they think might benefit from diagnostic whole genome or exome sequencing. Providers will briefly discuss genome sequencing and the pilot study with potentially eligible patients. If a patient is interested, the provider will refer him/her to the study by contacting the study staff and providing the reason (clinical question) why the provider thinks genome sequencing might be beneficial for the patient. The study staff will meet with the patient to conduct a baseline interview and survey, obtain informed consent for sequencing, and obtain a blood specimen for sequencing. A clinical laboratory will perform exome or whole-genome sequencing and issue an interpreted genome report including any variant possibly explaining the patient's condition, in addition to secondary monogenic, carrier, and pharmacogenomic results. This report will be sent to the referring provider, who will document the results and associated decision-making in the medical record. Approximately 3 months later, study staff will conduct a follow-up interview and survey with the participating patient.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Genome sequencing

Patients undergo exome or whole-genome sequencing, and their patients receive an interpreted clinical report.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Genome sequencing

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Patients will undergo exome or genome sequencing, and their referring provider will receive an interpreted report with the following categories of results: 1) results related to the indication for testing, 2) secondary monogenic results, 3) carrier status, 4) pharmacogenomics results.
