Massive genomic newborn-screening studies are under way all over the globe. But questions about scalability, feasibility and ...

Early results from 4,000 babies show that genome sequencing picks up many more serious health conditions than standard newborn screening and is favored by most parents. Early results from a study of ...

Genetic screening that identifies cancer-linked mutations in newborns could give doctors a head start on treatment, but it ...

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 ...

A large population-based study led by researchers at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center and Mass ...

Yet, the effectiveness of genetic sequencing as an alternative method for NBS has not previously been studied. To evaluate the outcomes of applying gene panel sequencing as a first-tier newborn ...

“I think you always believe it’s never going to happen to me.” That is how one parent described learning that their newborn baby had been identified as being at possible risk of a rare genetic ...

Newborn screening, which represents one of the major advances in child health of the past century, has been carried out in all fifty U.S. states since the 1970s. New-born screening programs are ...
