🔥 NGS isn’t underused due to lack of data. It’s underused because reports are HARD to use.
▫️@AMPath@Pathologists consensus: Only 1/17 NSCLC reports were oncologist-friendly.
▫️The fix: Standardized, guideline-aligned reporting.

🚨 Big news: The U.S. District Court has ruled in our favor, thwarting the FDA’s attempt to impose excessive regulations on laboratory-developed testing procedures (LDTs). This is a win for labs, patients and innovation! Ruling and opinion: amp.org/advocacy/amp-v-fda/
Today's the last day to secure early-bird pricing on our live online Molecular Genetic Pathology Review Course in May! This course will include lectures, case studies, live Q&A sessions and in-depth discussions. Learn more and register: amp.org/events/molecular-gen…
We're at @TheUSCAP's annual meeting this weekend! Swing by booth 1004 to meet our membership manager, Jocelyn Friedrich; get your hands on some "Molecular in My Pocket" reference cards; and find out what being a member of @AMPath can mean for you. #USCAP2025
At our AMP Middle East meeting in Abu Dhabi, Somak Roy (@roysomak4)will give two presentations, one about what clinical bioinformaticians need to know and one about in silico resources for NGS bioinformatics pipeline validation.

ALT Graphic repeats what is in the post, but it also notes these topics are covered: highly homologous genes, molecular informatics at scale, structural variant discovery, structural variation detection, personalized genomics, and difficult-to-sequence genes and structural variants. It also says you get 6 hours of lectures, slides, pre- and post-course tests and a certificate of completion from the Association for Molecular Pathology.
We convened a working group to update the guideline for classification, annotation, interpretation and reporting of somatic sequence variants published in 2017. The working group seeks comments on its draft recommendations. Read them and submit a comment: amp.org/clinical-practice/op…
NIST has developed a reference material to support the production of diagnostic tests for the bird flu (H5N1). This nonhazardous genetic material will enhance the nation’s response to outbreaks of disease and ensure companies’ quality control. Read more: nist.gov/news-events/news/20…

The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) has recently joined the @AJCCancer as a new member organization. The AMP advances clinical practice, science, and excellence of molecular and genomic laboratory medicine. Welcome, @AMPath!
Free webinar on Jan. 30: "Germline Testing in Cancer Patients: Molecular Diagnostic Considerations
and Clinical Implications." It'll feature speaker Diana Mandelker of @MSKCancerCenter and provide continuing-education credit: educate.amp.org/local/catalo…
Not sure what your lab should be doing in light of the FDA's final rule on laboratory-developed testing procedures? We've put together a webpage with a ton of resources to help you at each stage. Check it out and share it with others who need it: amp.org/advocacy/amp-v-fda/f…
