Jim Evans, Jonathan Berg<\/strong>, and Terry Magnuson<\/strong> are authors, along with Andy Olshan<\/strong> and Barbara Rimer<\/strong> in the School of Public Health, of a Commentary called, “We screen newborns, don’t we: realizing the promise of public health genomics<\/a>,” which has been published online ahead of print in Genetics in Medicine<\/em>. They argue that the time has come to begin serious discussions about the possibility of screening adults for genetic conditions that are preventable if identified early. Their article has been highlighted in Science Daily<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
