Genomic Newborn Screening (gNBS): A Preventive, Sustainable Approach to Early-Life Healthcare

Newborn screening is one of the most successful preventive health interventions, enabling early identification of select inherited disorders and timely treatment. However, traditional newborn screening relies on biochemical markers that reflect downstream effects of disease. These markers often become abnormal only after the disease process has begun, meaning some degree…

Understanding Blended Genome and Exome (BGE)

Genomic testing in clinical practice often involves a compromise between breadth and depth. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) offers the most comprehensive view of genetic variation but remains expensive and data-intensive for routine use. Whole exome sequencing (WES), on the other hand, provides deep coverage of coding regions where many disease-causing…
