Genomics England has published an initial list of over 200 rare conditions that will be looked for as part of its world-leading Newborn Genomes Programme's Generation Study, which aims to start in NHS hospitals in late 2023.
The Generation Study aims to explore the benefits, challenges, and practicalities of sequencing and analysing newborns' genomes, in the hope that rare genetic conditions can be diagnosed earlier.
