Should all babies have their genomes sequenced at birth? The question has been hotly debated for the past 15 years. Unlocking the genome’s 3.2-billion-letter code promises understanding of both health ...

The goal of this workshop was to examine the types of evidence being collected as part of genomics-based programs at health care systems, consider near-term opportunities for advancing knowledge about ...

Routine newborn screening (NBS) has transformed early disease detection. However, traditional biochemical tests limit the range of conditions that can be identified at birth. Next-generation ...

‘BEACONS,’ a multi-state collaboration led by Mass General Brigham and Ariadne Labs, will enroll up to 30,000 newborns to explore adding genomic sequencing in U.S. newborn screening GAITHERSBURG, Md.- ...

A nationwide Australian pilot screened more than 10,000 adults aged 18–40 years for high-risk genetic variants linked to ...

Genetic conditions with actionable interventions affect nearly 10% of populations in the United States and internationally - if one includes both common ...

Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby's genome ...

Leading genomic health experts from Monash University are calling for urgent government funding to progress the development ...

Data from more than 22,000 newborns reinforce GeneDx’s role spearheading the adoption of genomic newborn screening (gNBS) from research to clinical practice GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GeneDx ...

In Destiny’s Child No Longer: Rewriting Genetic Fate, we envisioned a world where every newborn would be screened for genetic risks. We see a future in which the randomness of genetic inheritance ...

Large-scale initiatives within health care systems or public health programs that integrate genomics have a variety of goals such as providing information about clinically actionable genetic variants, ...
