Age-based genomic screening in newborns, infants, and children: a novel paradigm in public health genomics

Project Summary/Abstract Genomic sequencing offers an unprecedented opportunity to identify clinically relevant genetic variants, yet there are many challenges to overcome before this technology can be applied routinely in the healthy population to identify individuals with actionable disorders in time to prevent or ameliorate symptoms. This project explores an innovative age-based genomic screening (ABGS) paradigm that aims to provide targeted and highly actionable genetic information to parents via their child’s routine wellness visits, thereby avoiding some of the more difficult aspects of genome-scale sequencing while retaining most of the benefits. We will utilize an established metric…
