Exome & General Genetics
Session # Ambry Lunch Symposium
Join us for an engaging lunch symposium hosted by Ambry Genetics at the National
Society of Genetic Counselors Annual Conference. This session will provide an
in-depth look at how Ambry Genetics approaches the design of genetic testing
menus and panels, emphasizing gene-disease validity, clinical utility, and the
evolving landscape of clinical testing.
Presenters Carrie Horton, Senior Medical Liaison and Clinical Researcher, and Jennifer
Herrera-Mullar, Principal Clinical Scientist, will share insights on the
process behind creating robust and clinically relevant genetic tests.
Our guest speaker, Dr. Tuya Pal, a board-certified clinical geneticist and
researcher from the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, will offer a clinician's
perspective on laboratory and test selection, supported by real-world case
examples.
This symposium is an excellent opportunity for genetic counselors to enhance their
understanding the technical, clinical, and practical considerations involved in
genetic test development and selection, directly from industry experts and a
practicing clinician.
