England's 10-year health plan aims to offer genome testing to newborns
A statement by a ministry, institution or international organisation, or a change in regulations. It is not evidence about how well a treatment works.
The English government's 10-year health plan aims, in the long term, to offer genome sequencing at birth to everyone. The plan also includes support for the Generation Study. This study is examining the genomes of 100,000 newborns. Its results will guide whether genome sequencing at birth moves into general practice.
What does it mean for patients and families?
This is a goal and is at the planning stage. Even in England, genome testing for all babies is not yet routine practice.
