Abstract
Next generation sequencing (NGS) based test provided us an unprecedented power for the molecular diagnosis of rare diseases with genetic etiology, thus enabling the practice of precision medicine. In order to maximize the clinical utilities of NGS-based test, attention should be paid to the improvement of the sequencing technology, data quality and the accuracy of data interpretation, as well as the clinical correlations and pre- and post-test genetic counseling services. In doing so, it is believed practice of NGS-based test can bring expected benefit to many patients and families.(Chin J Lab Med, 2017, 40: 486-488) Key words: Genetic Diseases, inborn; High-throughput nucleotide sequencing; Genetic counseling
