- Abstract
The article reports on the move by genome sequencing firms to redirect their attention to pathology laboratories as their next big market opportunity. It notes that such shift is reflected by the clinical case of a six-year-old boy with multiple intestinal fistulas and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) mutation who recovered with the help of sequencing. It adds that clinical instrument providers regard the trend as an opportunity to widen their customer base outside the research community.
