About HSMD

Combining over 2 decades of expert curation and data from real-world clinical oncology cases, HSMD is a new somatic database from QIAGEN that serves as a single, trusted data source for clinical labs to validate, assess, and better understand the clinical significance of detected variants.

HSMD aggregates manually curated content from the QIAGEN Knowledge Base, the industry’s largest collection of biological and clinical findings, with data from over 500,000 real-world clinical oncology cases that have been analyzed and interpreted by QIAGEN’s professional clinical interpretation service, to eliminate the need to manually collect information across knowledge bases and provide deep genomic insight into the molecular characterizations of your patient’s tumor.

Easy to search with new content added weekly, HSMD enables users to explore key genes or mutations with driving properties or clinical relevance, and lets users search for associated treatment options, off-label therapies, resistance markers, and regional and/or disease-specific clinical trials.
