  • A significant milestone for children with rare diseases in WA – Thanks to Telethon and the generosity of the WA community 24 May 2024 It was a memorable day at PathWest on Wednesday 22 May, with the launch of the NovaSeq XP machine, a state-of-the-art genomic sequencer that will revolutionise the testing for rare diseases by examining a person’s genetic makeup. This significant advancement is a joint funding arrangement between Telethon and both PathWest and North Metropolitan Health Service (NMHS). The introduction of whole genome sequencing through the new sequencer will provide patients and their families with 50 to 100 times more information than previously available. This breakthrough offers earlier and more precise diagnoses, improving the quality of life for those living with rare diseases.
