SOPHiA DDM™ for
Pediatric Diseases
Fast and accurate analytics for pediatric genetic testing
Our optimized sample-to-report workflows bring clarity to variants associated with rare and inherited pediatric diseases
Enhance your pediatric genetic testing research with advanced analytics and dedicated features
Quickly and accurately discover variants associated with pediatric diseases in a single sample-to-report workflow with the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform complemented by Alamut™ Visual Plus.
Comprehensive variant filtering
Pediatric genetic testing can detect thousands of variants for interpretation. To facilitate the prioritization of variants, benefit from time-saving SOPHiA DDM™ features such as Familial Variant Analysis for the determination of inheritance mode, Virtual Panels, Cascading Filters, and guideline-driven classification.
Accurate CNV detection
The SOPHiA DDM™ Platform supports the accurate detection of Copy Number Variations (CNVs) at exon-level resolution alongside Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) and Indels in a single experiment, facilitating a fast and cost-effective workflow for pediatric genetic testing.
Mitochondrial DNA detection
In a single workflow, the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform analyzes variants in mitochondrial DNA alongside SNVs, Indels, and CNVs in nuclear DNA. Sophisticated algorithms address the unique challenges associated with the mitochondrial genome such as the variable amount of mitochondrial DNA and heteroplasmy, to identify disease-associated variants from pediatric genetic testing.
Applications for every workflow
Our Pediatric Disease Applications leverage the analytical capabilities of the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform for accurate and streamlined variant detection and assessment from pediatric genetic testing.
Exome Applications
Our broad range of comprehensive exome applications allow a deep exploration of clinical and whole exomes, including the mitochondrial genome. Virtual panels in the SOPHiA DDM™ Platform limit interpretation to a subset of genes for quicker initial screening of variants.
Nephropathies Solution
Quickly and confidently characterize and research childhood nephropathies with the SOPHiA DDM™ Nephropathies Solution, expertly designed in collaboration with Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital in Italy. High-affinity probe design ensures high on-target rate and coverage uniformity, and SOPHiA DDM™ provides high confidence calling of SNVs, Indels, and CNVs, including differentiation of gene and pseudogene variants in PKD1.
Analytical pipelines for CFTR carrier screening
Maximize your cystic fibrosis research with SOPHiA DDM™ Platform secondary and tertiary analytics that support Devyser® CFTR Solution, TruSeq® CFTR (first and second level screening), or AmpliSeq® CFTR Solution. SOPHiA DDM™ Platform provides high confidence calling of SNVs, Indels, and CNVs, including polythymidine variants.
Community Panels
Accelerate your analysis of variants associated with pediatric diseases with panels pre-designed, developed, and tested by genomic experts. Our targeted, capture-based NGS Community Panels minimize set-up challenges with the flexibility to add or remove genes to meet your unique requirements.
Custom Pipelines
Design and adopt an analytical solution or capture-based target enrichment kit that accurately analyzes genes relevant to your laboratory. Benefit from full consulting and set-up assistance for a fast and worry-free transition to routine variant analysis.
