We show that clinically accredited genomic newborn screening can be delivered with short turnaround times, detects many more conditions than standard newborn screening, and is both clinically ...

Genomic screening to identify hemochromatosis—a disorder that causes iron levels in the body to rise to dangerous levels—encourages people with the condition to seek treatment and ongoing management, ...

Opportunistic screening for secondary findings (SF) is increasingly a feasible way to leverage existing genomic data to identify people at genetic risk of actionable conditions and offer strategies ...

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 ...

‘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.- ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

" Population genomic screening aims to identify adults at high genetic risk of serious but preventable conditions before symptoms appear. "Without this life-saving testing, thousands of Australians ...

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 ...

If you have ever welcomed a new baby into the world, you know the mix of hope and uncertainty that comes with those first days. For decades, newborn screening has been a quiet triumph of public health ...

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, ...
