ON-DEMAND WEBINAR:

Cystic Fibrosis Screening: Laboratory Perspectives and Best Practices

Webinar Overview

CFTR variant panel guidelines have evolved significantly, from the original ACMG23 panel to today's expanded variant lists. This on-demand webinar walks laboratory professionals through that evolution and its practical implications for panel design, population diversity, and variant interpretation.

Topics include the shift from ACMG23 to expanded panels, alignment with current ACMG, ACOG, and CF Foundation guidance, panel design across diverse populations, ethnicity-aware analysis, residual risk calculation, and managing variants of uncertain significance (VUS).

Intended for laboratory scientists, directors, and professionals involved in CFTR variant analysis.

Learning Objectives

• Current ACMG, ACOG, and CF Foundation guidelines to CFTR panel design
• CFTR panel design approaches across diverse populations
• Calculating residual risk and manage variants of uncertain significance (VUS)
