Data Management and Reanalysis

Reanalysis may accelerate diagnosis and reduce cost compared with ordering new genomic testing for later clinical questions. Genomic data files are stored for at least 10 years. Genomic data are stored on secure SA Health servers according to SA Pathology clinically accredited procedures and ISO 15189 requirements. Research data are entered into REDCap but genomic data are excluded. Clinically indicated reanalysis requires a new clinical request and consent process under routine clinical frameworks. Stored genome sequence data can be requested for diagnostic reanalysis later in life because sequencing is performed in a clinically accredited diagnostic service.
