Mandated newborn screening programs for genetic and other congenital conditions for the some 4 million infants born in the United States each year have seen dramatic changes over the past decade. With the mapping of the human genome and other advances in science and technology, there will be ...
the Global NGS Newborn Genetic Testing/Screening Market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 12.7% between 2022 and 2027. The NGS newborn genetic testing/screening market is driven mainly by the growing incidence of genetic disorders, the increasing adoption of NGS diagnostics, the growing i...
). The tests are usually done before the baby leaves the hospital. If the tests are done earlier than 24 hours after the baby is born, a repeat test is recommended at 1 to 2 weeks of age. The newborn screening tests which are done in the United States a are decided on a state-...
technologies (94%), perhaps because of concerns about genetic privacy.14 Preliminary data from research conducted in Scotland found that requiring formal informed consent for a new cystic fibrosis test appears to have increased parental rejection of all screening tests from a level of 0.033 to 0.072...
Bedside newborn hearing screening is highly successful in identifying deaf or hard-of-hearing infants. However, newborn hearing screening protocols have high loss to follow-up rates. We propose that bloodspot-based genetic testing for GJB2 alleles can provide a means for rapid confirmation in a ...
Newborn Screening One of the most common applications of genetic/genomic tests is in the area of newborn screening for congenital disorders, conducted just after birth for nearly every newborn (>4 million/year) in the US. While standardization of data elements and terminologies is essential for...
State﹍evel newborn screening allows for early treatment of genetic disorders, which can substantially improve health outcomes for newborns. As the cost of genetic testing decreases, it is becoming an essential part of newborn screening. A genetic disorder can be caused by many mutation variants; ...
Advances in genomic medicine have lead to debate about the potential inclusion of genetic tests for susceptibility to common complex disorders in newborn screening programmes. Empirical evidence concerning psychosocial reactions to genetic testing is a crucial component of both ethical debate and policy de...

Newborn screening has been one of the most successful public health programs ever developed. All babies born in the USA undergo screening for 30 or more inherited conditions; early interventions of infants identified with one of these conditions can prevent or substantially improve health outcomes.DOI...
