Genome-First approach could speed up rare disease diagnoses for kids

NCT ID NCT06935019

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

Summary

This study compares doing a full genome sequencing test as soon as a rare genetic disease is suspected (genomics-first) versus the usual process of waiting to see a specialist first. About 200 children referred to genetics clinics at SickKids or CHEO will take part. Researchers want to see if the genomics-first approach leads to more and faster diagnoses, and if it is cost-effective.
