WGS is most relevant where comprehensive profiling can consolidate multiple genomic analyses

Applications grouped by maturity: current clinical workflows, emerging clinical use and developing applications.

Used in clinical or validated laboratory workflows

Current
  • Disease characterisation and genomic classification

    AML, MDS, MPN

    Single assay resolving defining fusions, copy-number changes and mutations used by current classification.

  • Structural-variant detection

    AML, ALL, MDS

    Detects balanced and unbalanced rearrangements without culture, probes or pre-specified targets.

  • Copy-number assessment

    MDS, multiple myeloma

    Genome-wide copy-number view in place of targeted probe panels.

  • Genomic inputs for risk stratification

    AML

    Supplies the genomic inputs used by current risk models.

Emerging clinical applications

Emerging
  • Therapy selection and biomarker identification

    AML, ALL, lymphoma

    Broad variant discovery feeding treatment and trial decisions currently taken on targeted assays.

  • Germline-predisposition assessment

    AML, MDS

    Paired germline analysis alongside somatic profiling.

  • Longitudinal profiling

    AML, MDS, MPN

    Repeat genome-wide characterisation at relapse or progression.

Future or developing applications

Developing
  • WGS-supported MRD strategies

    AML, ALL, multiple myeloma

    Baseline genome may define patient-specific markers subsequently tracked by targeted chemistry.

  • Routine longitudinal monitoring

    AML, MDS, MPN

    Scheduled genome-wide reassessment as part of standard follow-up.

  • Broader companion-diagnostic applications

    Hematological malignancies

    Genome-derived biomarkers tied to specific therapy decisions.

Invivoscribe implication

The initial opportunity should focus on applications where WGS can consolidate information currently generated across multiple diagnostic methods.

Recommended action

Select the first clinical application based on unmet workflow need, clinical utility and compatibility with Invivoscribe's hematology capabilities.
