Genetic Research

Information management for genetic and hereditary disease studies adds a level of complexity beyond traditional clinical research in that family data must be captured and queried. Labmatrix™ is used by leading geneticists to capture all study data on each family member together with phenotype, genotype, clinical, specimen and molecular assay information, enabling seamless transition within an access-controlled framework to facilitate real-time global collaboration across multiple sites while maintaining HIPAA compliance.

Labmatrix™ uniquely supports these studies with modules specific for family
data including:

• Automatic and interactive pedigree drawing.
• Pedigree customization to display any data, whether clinical phenotype, other clinical data, genotype, lab test or other assay data.
• Family-, proband-, and patient-centric data views.
• Management, barcoding, tracking, and storage of all specimens of any type, with views of all specimens obtained from a family.
• Flexible genetic information management for annotation of genotypes and genetic test result, both for research and reporting purposes.
• Multi-dimensional query tools with multiple data export formats.

Working closely with leading genetic disease researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute over many years, BioFortis has a wealth of experience in this field and provides both consulting and professional services to meet the specific needs of this unique domain.
