Preferences and values for rapid genomic testing in critically ill infants and children: a discrete choice experiment
I Goranitis et al, EJHG, April 2, 2021

The public (n?=?522) and families with lived experiences (n?=?25) demonstrated strong preferences for higher diagnostic yield and clinical utility, faster result turnaround times, and lower cost. Society on average would be willing to pay an additional AU$9510 (US$6657) for rapid (2 weeks results turnaround time) and AU$11,000 (US$7700) for ultra-rapid genomic testing (2 days turnaround time) relative to standard diagnostic care.

New ASD prevalence numbers show gaps are closing, but more work is needed
CDC, April, 2021

Recent findings from the ADDM Network show that an estimated 1 in 54 8-year-old children were identified with ASD in 2016, based on tracking in 11 communities across the United States. For the first time, ADDM Network data found no overall difference in the number of black children identified with ASD compared to white children.

Utility of noninvasive genome-wide screening: a prospective cohort of obstetric patients undergoing diagnostic testing.
Guseh Stephanie et al. Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics 2021 3

While NIPS is an excellent screening test for common aneuploidies, genome-wide NIPS misses clinically significant findings detected on routine diagnostic testing. False positive and false negative cases highlight the importance of pretest counseling regarding NIPS limitations, especially in the setting of fetal anomalies.

Actionability of commercial laboratory sequencing panels for newborn screening and the importance of transparency for parental decision-making.
DeCristo Daniela M et al. Genome medicine 2021 3 (1) 50

Commercial neonatal genomic screening panels have heterogeneous content and may contain some conditions with lower actionability than would be expected for public health newborn screening; conversely, some conditions with higher actionability may be omitted from these panels. The lack of transparency about how conditions are selected suggests a need for greater detail about panel content in order for parents to make informed decisions.
