Advocating newborn screening programmes and newborn whole genome sequencing

Newborn genome-sequencing unlocks the blueprint of healthOne recent study conducted by the US NIH BabySeq project, and published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, evaluated the sequences of 127 apparently healthy and 32 sick infants. It found that just over 10% of infants had an unanticipated risk of genetic diseases. When these infants were followed up for three to five years, sequences revealed the causes of disease in three infants; in the remaining 14, a better picture of the risk made way for better medical surveillance.
