25,000 babies join England's newborn genome screening study
A statement by a ministry, institution or international organisation, or a change in regulations. It is not evidence about how well a treatment works.
25,000 babies have joined the Generation Study, run by Genomics England with the NHS. The study is investigating whether more than 200 rare genetic diseases can be screened for at birth using whole genome sequencing. More than 50 NHS hospitals are enrolling families in the study.
What does it mean for patients and families?
The results will set the direction for the future. The question is: can genome-based newborn screening be done safely and fairly?
