The MedSeq Project examined the effort needed to reanalyze genomes 6–23 months after the initial analysis and how often new findings were revealed \[1\]. Over the course of the MedSeq study, 14 variants were reclassified and, upon reanalysis, 18 new variants met criteria for reporting. According to Yska et al \[2\], the percentage of patients who were genetically diagnosed for primary immunodeficiencies using NGS and array-based methodologies was as low as 15%. These findings highlight the need for periodic reinterpretation and reanalysis of sequencing data for both diagnostic indications and secondary findings.** [![Download the Diagnostic Yield Whitepaper](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4384097/275689c4-2695-4491-aa21-24877ba10b4c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4384097/275689c4-2695-4491-aa21-24877ba10b4c) [Previous Post](https://news.varsome.com/en/varelas-to-distribute-varsome-clinical-in-greece) [Next Post](https://news.varsome.com/en/varsome-clinical-version-8-released) ### Stay up to date ## Latest News [See all blog posts](https://blog.varsome.com) ![](https://news.varsome.com/hubfs/VarSome_February2020%20Theme/Images/logo.png) - VarSome Suite - [VarSome.com](https://saphetor.com/varsome-editions/varsome/) - [VarSome Premium](https://saphetor.com/varsome-editions/varsome-premium/) - [VarSome Clinical](https://saphetor.com/varsome-editions/varsome-clinical/) - [VarSome API](https://varsome.com/information/varsome-api-info/) - System Status - [System Status](http://status.saphetor.com/) - Resources - [Query Examples](https://varsome.com/about/examples/) - [Documentation](https://docs.varsome.com/) - [Help Center](https://docs.varsome.com/en) - [Cite VarSome](https://news.varsome.com/en/cite-varsome-the-human-genomic-variant-search-engine) - The Company - [About Saphetor SA](https://saphetor.com/about/) - [News](https://blog.varsome.com) - [Distributors](https://landing.varsome.com/distributors) - [Contact](https://saphetor.com/contact/) - Legal - [Terms of Use](https://varsome.com/terms/) - [Privacy Policy](https://varsome.com/privacy/) VarSome Suite is brought to you by [Saphetor SA](https://saphetor.com). © 2024 Saphetor SA – All Rights Reserved.
