The announcement is being made at the annual meeting of the Association for Molecular Pathology in Austin, Texas, USA. Congenica’s Sapientia™ technology has been developed to enable clinicians to analyse and interpret whole genome data rapidly. It allows hospital consultants to make an accurate diagnosis of inherited and acquired genetic disorders by identifying gene mutations and highlight those that are associated with such disorders.  The technology has been validated by Genomics England and adopted by NHS Genetics Centres. GenomOncology’s Precision Medicine Portfolio™ is a suite of products and services that addresses the full range of requirements for precision medicine in molecular pathology and medical genetics, particularly in the field of oncology.  The Portfolio supports test validation and production, clinical decision support, and analytics for both monitoring and discovery. In the field of oncology, genotyping both cancer patients and tumours improves the identification of drug targets and increases the efficacy of treatment. Current drug treatments are only effective in 30-60% of such patients and this is driving the adoption of a personalised medicine strategy by healthcare providers. Where genotyping has been introduced for breast cancer patients, for example, it has proven to be successful; identifying which drugs will be the most effective, speeding up patient recovery and reducing the cost of ineffective drugs. Traditional methods of finding disease-related mutations, in both oncology and rare genetic conditions, involves several manual processes that can take weeks. Now, with Sapientia and Precision Medicine Portfolio technologies, those processes can be integrated in one place, reducing the time to provide results to a few hours. By analysing patients’ genetic and phenotype information together, the mutations that may be linked to disease are highlighted and can be linked to databases of knowledge containing details of previously seen variants, phenotype information and a wide range of literature sources.  As more of this data is added to the Sapientia knowledge base, the accuracy in identifying the critical sequences increases. Congenica’s collaboration with GenomOncology will provide testing centres in both the UK and USA with a broader product suite covering both oncology and rare genetic diseases, as well as providing more data\[to improve the accuracy and speed of diagnosis\]. Manuel Glynias, President and CEO of GenomOncology, says: “With this agreement, we are addressing our clients’ needs in inherited disease interpretation and reporting while simultaneously extending our reach overseas.” “We are delighted to be working with the Congenica team, whose academic and professional reputations are second to none.” Dr Thomas Weaver, CEO of Congenica, agrees: “Congenica’s collaboration with GenomOncology achieves an important milestone in our strategic plan by rolling out Sapientia into the hugely important US market.  Both companies already have a number of clients who are attracted by the combined offering with its enhanced data model and we look forward to a fruitful partnership.” --- ### Related articles ![SeqOne acquires Congenica to create a global leader in AI-powered genomic medicine](https://blog.congenica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/New%20logos/Congenica%20%26%20SeqOne%20Logo%20Without%20Tagline%20RGB.png?width=320&height=192&name=Congenica%20%26%20SeqOne%20Logo%20Without%20Tagline%20RGB.png) 9/2/2025 #### [SeqOne acquires Congenica to create a global leader in AI-powered genomic medicine](https://blog.congenica.com/seqone-acquires-congenica-to-create-a-global-leader-in-ai-powered-genomic-medicine) Strategic acquisition of UK genomics leader Congenica reinforces SeqOne market position and footprint - servicing over 160 labs in 30+ countries ![Congenica showcased in Genomics Spotlight 2024 Report](https://blog.congenica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/male%20doc%20with%20child%20and%20mum%20light%20small%20.jpg?width=320&height=192&name=male%20doc%20with%20child%20and%20mum%20light%20small%20.jpg) 11/6/2024 #### [Congenica showcased in Genomics Spotlight 2024 Report](https://blog.congenica.com/congenica-showcased-in-recently-launched-genomics-spotlight-2024-report) We are thrilled to announce that Congenica is one of the companies showcased in the recently launched Genomics Spotlight 2024 report produced by the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT). ![Congenica Named Best Genomic Data Analysis Software Company 2024 by GHP](https://blog.congenica.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Onco%20.png?width=320&height=192&name=Onco%20.png) 6/19/2024 #### [Congenica Named Best Genomic Data Analysis Software Company 2024 by GHP](https://blog.congenica.com/congenica-named-best-genomic-data-analysis-software-company-2024-by-ghp) We are thrilled to announce that Congenica has been awarded the title of "Best Genomic Data Analysis Software Company 2024" by Global Health & Pharma Magazine.  ##### Congenica is available as a CE Marked IVD clinical decision support platform for clinical diagnostic use for inherited genetic disorders in the UK and EU, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
