NCT ID NCT05161169
First seen Nov 12, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study looked at whether whole genome sequencing can help screen healthy babies for genetic conditions that might affect their health now or later. Researchers enrolled 500 infants and their families from three U.S. cities, took a small blood sample, and sequenced the DNA of half the babies. After three months, they shared the results with parents and doctors to see how this information affects medical care, family stress, and costs. The goal was to learn how to use this technology in regular checkups, not to treat or cure any disease.
