Description:
Genomics England, in partnership with the NHS and other stakeholders, is co-designing and delivering a national research study, the Generation Study, involving up to 100,000 newborns to understand the role of whole genome sequencing (WGS) to achieve more timely diagnosis of rare conditions and access to early intervention, enabling faster and better care for babies born with rare childhood onset diseases.

If successful, the study could establish the foundation for the world's first national newborn screening program incorporating whole genome sequencing. The study also aims to understand how, with consent, newborns' genomic and health data could be used for research to enable new diagnostic discoveries and treatments to be developed. As part of the consent to the study mothers are asked for permission to retain the baby's data and sample and link it to clinical data over the course of their life and the ability to recontact them with further research opportunities.
