Feasibility, acceptability and clinical outcomes of the BabyScreen+ genomic newborn screening study - Nature Medicine
The BabyScreen+ study offered genomic screening to 1,000 newborns in Australia, and showed that the approach is feasible and positively received by families, leading to molecular diagnoses in 1.6% of babies.

Will The Updated NSGC Pedigree Nomenclature Guidelines Sink The Effort To Obtain Medicare Coverage For Genetic Counselors?
Back on January 20th, American democracy and decency began to swalllow a poison pill of its own electoral making. The fallout has been all kinds of horrible, nationally and internationally, except in Moscow where Putin is having a belly laugh because America is doing his dirty work by destroying itself. The US Constitution is being shredded. People who are transgender, gay, non-White, and all the other non-majority varieties of American demographics feel that their very lives are threatened.
