"at a similar cost to some advanced imaging tests or to a brief admission to hospital" .... other than a soft sell what does this mean ???? We are all educated professionals - we can understand cost: benefit ratios, etc.

The submission would significantly benefit from the explicit inclusion of petential risk of bias.Also, provided that genomic sequencing "as a test" strategy is a linked to existential interests of biomedical industry, it is vitally important to the tax payers and funders of public healthcare system to see the highest level of evidence obtained in at least few well-designer randomized controlled trials rather than in many yet bias-prone observational studies, performed (or backed) by developers of the new gernomic etc tests.
