"SOPHiA GENETICS' AI-based technology is at the forefront of where precision medicine is going – blending science and technology to deliver the best possible outcomes for patients. The addition of the SOPHiA GENETICS Platform to our suite of offerings will support our effort to deliver the fastest and most accurate diagnostics to our patients," said Mattia Schmid, PhD., FAMH, Scientific Manager, Unilabs.
HRD is caused by a cell's impaired ability to repair DNA double-stranded breaks through the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway and is the most prevalent alteration in ovarian cancer1 with approximately half of all newly diagnosed patients having HRD-positive tumors2.
HRD in a tumor is an important predictor of tumor response to certain treatment options, however, to detect HRD, researchers often use next-generation sequencing (NGS), which can produce a complex data set that is time-intensive and costly to analyze. The SOPHiA DD  Platform uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning with patented technologies to analyze and interpret raw NGS data, providing reliable and fast HRD results that can help guide treatment planning.
"As a diagnostics leader, Unilabs is responsible for delivering fast and accurate testing results to patients throughout Europe each year, and our team at SOPHiA GENETICS is proud to be one of the technology leaders helping to enable these results," said Kevin Puylaert, Managing Director, EMEA, SOPHiA GENETICS. "Identifying HRD-status is key to facilitating the use of precision medicine among ovarian cancer patients worldwide. The implementation of the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform will support Unilabs as it continues to offer the very best in testing and diagnostics to all of Europe
