Should all babies have their genome sequenced at birth?

17 Nov 2021

Abstract excerpt

The UK is set to pilot genetic sequencing in healthy babies. Genomic screening at appropriate ages could help reduce the burden of genetic disorders, say Leslie Biesecker and colleagues, but David Curtis argues that newborns cannot consent and that our most personal data might be misused
