Overview
Advances in neonatal genomics may detect serious conditions, which meet criteria for neonatal genetic screening, to help support clinical decision making. Conversely, ethical considerations are an ongoing debate on neonatal genomic sequencing compared to current newborn screenings. This presentation will address the potential uses for genomic sequencing, including its limitations, promises, challenges and ethical considerations.

ACCME Objectives
  1. Summarize the current state and latest advances in neonatal genomics.
  2. Describe clinical indications to support the use of genomic sequencing for clinical decision making.
  3. Discuss the available neonatal genetic screening and the use of information to facilitate enhanced clinical decision making and optimize clinical outcomes.
  4. Illustrate the importance of genetic assessment, testing, and critical issues surrounding care in the neonatal setting.
