Clinical Bioinformatics Consulting for Genomics

Sequencing is now routine in clinical genomics. The real challenge is turning variant files into clear answers for clinical teams. Dr A Deffur offers expert tertiary analysis that links genomic findings to each patient's phenotype, giving clinicians and laboratory scientists results they can act on.

Tertiary analysis and variant interpretation

  • Annotation, filtering and classification of variants using current knowledgebases and ACMG/AMP evidence frameworks

  • Expert curation of candidate variants, with interpretive comments written for clinicians: phenotype correlation, differential diagnosis, therapeutic implications and suggested confirmatory testing

  • Support for multidisciplinary meetings and structured sign-off

HPO term-driven prioritisation

  • Structured capture of clinical features as Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms

  • Phenotype-driven ranking of candidate genes and variants, so the most relevant findings come first

  • Less time spent on manual review, a higher diagnostic yield and transparent reasoning behind each prioritised result

Integration into existing workflows

  • Services fit around your current sequencing pipelines, laboratory information systems and reporting processes, with no need to replace infrastructure

  • Customisable report templates matched to your clinical and laboratory requirements

  • Documented, reproducible methods to support accreditation and quality assurance

Why work with Dr A Deffur?

A clinician-led service, grounded in internal medicine, infectious diseases, genomics and digital health. The focus throughout is on reducing diagnostic uncertainty and shortening time to answers.
