CHEO and SickKids join forces to lead the way in data sharing

February 29, 2024 by ON Genomics Leave a Comment

The All for One Precision Health Partnership is creating a national database for rare diseases

Imagine being very sick, with daily impacts on your wellbeing, family, education and community, but not knowing the cause. This is the experience of many Canadians with a rare genetic disease. Rare genetic diseases affect nearly one million Canadians, and despite extensive clinical testing and investigation, over half of them don’t have a diagnosis.

Over the past four years, clinicians, scientists and researchers in six provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia) have been working to evaluate and implement an important clinical genetic test, called genome-wide sequencing (GWS), to help with timely diagnoses for families with rare genetic diseases. The program, called the All for One Precision Health Partnership, began in 2019 and was launched in 2022 with the support of Genome Canada, six regional Genome Centres, and in partnership with provincial governments and end users. Preliminary outcomes show the successful integration of genome-wide sequencing into clinical care can provide a diagnosis for up to 30 per cent of tested families.

The leaders of the six provincial projects are working to the premise that the number of diagnoses, time to diagnosis and equity of access will be improved if diagnostic laboratories providing genome-wide sequencing work together and share data. As part of All for One, a first-of-its-kind national program is being developed to enable secure data sharing between Canadian diagnostic laboratories. This All for One ‘Clinical Genomics Network’ will mean that when a rare disease family receives genome-wide sequencing in one province, their test information may very well help to diagnose a family in another.

The diagnostic laboratories at CHEO and the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) are pioneering the sharing of genome-wide sequencing data via the Clinical Genomics Network, contributing data from over 4,000 rare disease patients and family members. This secure data sharing will increase health care providers’ ability to provide answers to families and may decrease their anxious wait for a diagnosis. As more individuals are sequenced and more diagnostic laboratories join the Clinical Genomics Network in the coming months and years, the impact of this network will be amplified across Canada.

“Individually, no single institution or health region can sequence enough people’s DNA to build a comprehensive database to support high-quality interpretation of clinical genome-wide sequencing. This is particularly true for equity-deserving populations who are also underrepresented in current genomic reference datasets. The All for One Precision Health Partnership is changing that and providing a blueprint for other countries around the world.” — Dr. Kym Boycott, All for One data sharing lead and Clinical Geneticist at CHEO, and Senior Scientist at the CHEO Research Institute.

“All For One is a ground-breaking portfolio of projects focused on improving health systems locally and regionally, but also contributing to national data sets to accelerate the quality of care for all Canadians. Coordinating and combining our efforts across hospitals, regions and provinces will ensure all patients across Canada are able to receive world-class, cost-effective care.” — Dr. Rob Annan, President and CEO of Genome Canada.

Two Ontario Genomics projects are getting patients quicker diagnosis and matched with life-saving clinical trials

Eight health and food security projects across the country are getting $41 million in funding from a group of organizations including, Ontario Genomics, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada and Genome Canada. The goal? To use the power of DNA technology to fuel groundbreaking advancements for real-world use.

It’s estimated 1 in 15 children is born with a rare genetic disease. Researchers at London Health Sciences Centre have developed EpiSign, an algorithm that diagnoses certain neurodevelopmental disorders in children not identified by other testing. This tool ends the long and frustrating emotional and financial challenge for families by getting their kids the support they need. In partnership with biotech company Illumina Inc., this $7.4 million project aims to expand the technology to quickly detect rare genetic diseases and other health issues in children.

Researchers at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto have developed an open-source software platform to match patients to clinical trials. This $1.8 million project in partnership with the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research and the Canadian Cancer Clinical Trials Network, will dramatically improve the matching of cancer patients with state-of-the-art precision therapies while giving researchers valuable information to help more patients in the future. This technology could expand to include clinical trial networks for other diseases.

Dr. Bettina Hamelin, President and CEO of Ontario Genomics, says, “Genomics is all about DNA, which shapes our lives and is fuelling exciting health care advances for patients of all ages. This is yet another step towards improved quality of life for so many Canadians made possible by investing in ground-breaking innovation.”

Genome Canada President and CEO Dr. Rob Annan, says, “Together, we will help save and improve the lives of Canadians and create solutions to complex health, environmental and food security challenges.”

Ontario Genomics Projects Part of a $30 Million Research and Innovation Investment

September 6, 2023 by ON Genomics Leave a Comment

McMaster and Guelph universities are tackling food insecurity and climate change

Projects at McMaster University and the University of Guelph are part of a $30 million investment in genomics-based innovation through the Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Systems (CSAFS) program. A total of nine Interdisciplinary Challenge Teams across Canada are getting the funding through a partnership with Genome Canada, Ontario Genomics and other organizations.

With the world’s population at 8.1 billion people and counting, food insecurity is a major concern, especially when you factor in climate change. The biggest Canadian cellular agriculture project ever is being led by McMaster University with help from the University of Toronto, the University of Guelph and Collège La Cité, where researchers are developing efficient and economical ways to produce cultivated meat on a large scale.

One of the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture comes from methane-filled cow burps. Led by the University of Guelph, researchers are creating a diagnostic toolkit to help farmers breed dairy cows with better digestion, which will make them significantly less gassy.

These two projects are getting nearly $6 million from the federal government through Genome Canada. Another $4.4 million is being given to joint Ontario Genomics projects led by Genome Prairie and Genome BC. Researchers at the University of Manitoba are developing soil microbe inoculants to replace chemical fertilizers, while research is underway at the University of the Fraser Valley on how to create new agricultural technologies in a responsible way that will benefit everyone.

Ontario Genomics President and CEO Dr. Bettina Hamelin, says, “Climate change is threatening our food supply and these projects are just the tip of the iceberg in the critical innovation happening in Ontario to produce sustainable food for Canadians. With more support like this, we can bring more jobs to the province and create meaningful solutions to the world’s most serious problems.”

Dr. Rob Annan, President and CEO of Genome Canada, says, “By harnessing the power of genomics, and the strengths of diverse researchers, institutions, companies and communities, the Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Systems initiative will support vital transformation across one of the most important sectors for Canada’s economy, our health and wellbeing.”
