ASHG: Australian Newborn WES Project Combines Hearing Loss Dx With Optional Secondary Results

Oct 19, 2018

|

SAN DIEGO (GenomeWeb) – Researchers in Australia have explored the clinical implementation of genomics by offering whole-exome sequencing as a diagnostic test to families with newborns affected by hearing loss while at the same time allowing parents to obtain secondary findings that could affect their child's health in the future.
