    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
