From the article: "Nation-wide genetic screening, available to all newborns, could in principle also be a tool to narrow the disparities that exist in today’s healthcare systems, providing to every family information about their baby’s health, regardless of socioeconomic and geographical factors. Designing genomics-based newborn screening programs that bring benefit equitably to the population is, however, an extremely complex task, also given the costs, and there is an urgent need to generate robust evidence on the potential benefits and harms of the approach, at the population level, before it can be implemented more widely.
