The Premise of Age-Based Genomic Screening (ABGS)
Targeted genomic screening for highly actionable conditions during routine well-child visits when genetic information is most useful to providers and parents.
We will be collaborating with providers and parents to explore the…
…of implementing these innovative screenings into a clinical setting
This approach introduces genomic screening over time, preparing adolescents to engage in decision-making about future screening when they reach adulthood.
