Newborn DNA screening could slash time to rare disease diagnosis

NCT ID NCT06549218

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to speed up the diagnosis of rare diseases in newborns by offering genetic screening shortly after birth. About 20,000 families will be invited to participate. The approach uses a targeted gene panel for treatable conditions and, if symptoms appear, whole genome sequencing to find the cause. Researchers will follow up with families to see how screening affects the child's health and family well-being.
