Tandem mass spectrometry is currently used by the Ohio Department of Health to screen newborn infants for 36 medically actionable inborn errors of metabolism. As a complementary test for infants with abnormal biochemical screens, whole genome sequencing (WGS) theoretically could reduce false-positive results, facilitate timely case resolution and, in some instances, indicate a more specific diagnosis than...
