After the great success of The Human Genome Project, we are now able to “read” the entire 6 billion letters of an individual’s genetic blueprint in an affordable and timely way. One of the most powerful applications of this genome sequencing is the identification of the “root cause” of a child’s undiagnosed, complex medical conditions or developmental disabilities like autism, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. This technology is now standard-of-care and reimbursed by most insurance companies and Florida Medicaid.
Examples of the sometimes life-saving and often life-changing benefits of this Genomics & Precision Health approach will be presented for critically ill babies in the neonatal intensive care unit, for young children in pediatrics clinics, and for future application to all babies born in the State of Florida as part of routine newborn screening.
