Latest Webinar | Using Somatic Variant Curation to Interpret Complex Cancer Genomic Profiles

Genomenon’s Clinical Knowledgebase (CKB) is the world’s leading curated somatic variant database used by premier oncology labs to interpret even the most complex cancer genomic profiles. As a centralized hub for cancer variant information, CKB provides valuable information that connects cancer variants to therapies and clinical trials, empowering you in your research and clinical practice.

Genomenon acquired CKB this spring, enabling us to provide an unprecedented understanding of the genome, with insights now covering both germline and somatic variants. 

Join us for this webinar to hear from CKB’s experts on how the tool can be used for clinical applications, increasing confidence in the completeness and accuracy of information related to a patient’s tumor genomic profile and ensuring the best-informed clinical decision is made for a patient.

 

In this session, you will learn:  

  • The ways CKB can be used to interpret cancer variants and navigate variant relationships
  • How CKB supports personalized medicine by identifying appropriate therapies and clinical trials through category-variant relations.  
  • Use cases when CKB and Mastermind can be used together, providing a comprehensive understanding of all cancer genetic profiles, including germline and somatic variants.
