Should Secondary Pharmacogenomic Variants Be Actively Screened and Reported When Diagnostic Genome-Wide Sequencing Is Performed in a Child?
Jan M Friedman et al. Genet Med 2023 11 101033 (Posted: Dec 01, 2023 7AM)

From the abstract: "This white paper was prepared by the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health Regulatory and Ethics Work Stream's Pediatric Task Team to review and provide perspective with respect to ethical, legal, and social issues regarding the return of secondary pharmacogenomic variants in children who have a serious disease or developmental disorder and are undergoing exome or genome sequencing to identify a genetic cause of their condition.

NBSTRN Tools to Advance Newborn Screening Research and Support Newborn Screening Stakeholders
K chan et al, IJNS, October 30, 2023 (Posted: Nov 01, 2023 7AM)

From the abstract: "Here, we describe web-based tools and resources developed and implemented by the newborn screening translational research network (NBSTRN) to advance newborn screening research and support NBS stakeholders worldwide. The NBSTRN’s tools include the Longitudinal Pediatric Data Resource (LPDR), the NBS Condition Resource (NBS-CR), the NBS Virtual Repository (NBS-VR), and the Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) Advantage. Research programs, including the Inborn Errors of Metabolism Information System (IBEM-IS), BabySeq, EarlyCheck, and Family Narratives Use Cases, have utilized NBSTRN’s tools and, in turn, contributed research data to further expand and refine these resources.

Genomic-Based Newborn Screening for Inborn Errors of Immunity: Practical and Ethical Considerations
JR King et al, IJNS, April 11, 2023 (Posted: Apr 14, 2023 7AM)

First-tier genomic-based newborn screening has been proposed as a potential approach by which to concurrently screen infants for hundreds of monogenic diseases at birth. Given the clinical, phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of IEI, a next-generation sequencing-based newborn screening approach would be suitable. There are, however, several ethical, legal and social issues which must be evaluated in detail prior to adopting a genomic-based newborn screening approach, and these are discussed herein in the context of IEI.
