Beautiful art work in the latest front cover of @Nature to illustrate the diversity of Mexican Genomics as evidenced by the recent publication of MX Biobank and MCPS. Great genomics resources for a Latin American population, we need more large-scale genomics projects for underrepresented populations, but also the time & resources to analyze, derive and implement insights, and train students to work with these data.

Incidentally, in our latest article in #FrontiersInGenetics we discuss the "Opportunities and challenges for newborn screening and early diagnosis of rare diseases in Latin America" including the opportunity to implement #GenomicSequencing as an add-on to current NBS programs to provide accurate diagnoses for patients living with #RareDiseases in #LATAM #GenomicEquity

The future of #NewbornScreening (NBS) is #GenomicSequencing for the early and accurate diagnosis of hundreds of #RareDiseases that if treated early can prevent early mortality & disability.
While the UK will be launching the Newborn Genomes Programme next year, many other countries around the world screen for just a handful of conditions and some others don't even have NBS programs in place. #GenomicEquity
