Whole-genome sequencing for every newborn in the UK: promise and practicalities

1 Jul 2025

Abstract excerpt

In June 2025, the UK National Health Service announced a plan to offer whole-genome sequencing to every newborn within the next decade, with a national rollout beginning in 2026. The move comes as part of the 10-Year Health Plan aiming to align health and growth objectives with a greater focus on proactive and preventive medicine. The £650 million initiative follows pilot programmes like the Generation Study by...
