The proportion of children clinically benefiting from whole genome sequencing in terms of improving diagnoses, treatment, and prognostication, amongst other aspects
5.5 years
Secondary Outcomes (1)

Study Arms (1)
All children/young people (up to 21years) diagnosed with neoplastic disorder who have had NHSE WGS
All children and young people (up to the age of 21 years) diagnosed with a neoplastic disorder who have been offered NHSE whole genome sequencing.
Interventions
As per widely adopted clinical research practice for case reviews of de-identified, anonymised data, no explicit consent of participants (or their legal guardians) would be required for this study other than the consent they provided at biopsy (from which the whole genome sequencing data is derived) for researchers to access their notes (as documented on hospital consent form).
Eligibility Criteria
All children and young people (up to the age of 21 years) diagnosed with a neoplastic disorder
You may qualify if:
- All children and young people (up to the age of 21 years) diagnosed with a neoplastic disorder who have been offered NHSE whole genome sequencing.
You may not qualify if:
- Anyone not offered NHSE whole genome sequencing
- Individuals beyond the age of 21
- Individuals without a neoplastic disorder.
