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 ...

‘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.- ...

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 ...

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 ...

More than a decade ago, researchers launched the BabySeq Project, a pilot program to return newborn genomic sequencing results to parents and measure the effects on newborn care. Today, over 30 ...

A large Australian pilot shows that testing healthy young adults for high-risk genes can reveal serious disease risk years before symptoms appear, challenging traditional family history–based genetic ...
