SUMMARY:We Screen Newborns Don’t We? Progress in DNA-based Population Screening
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 18 | 10 – 11 a.m. ET | Online\n \nRapid advances and decreasing costs of human genome sequencing technologies are accelerating the integration of genomics into clinical practice. Although genomic sequencing has demonstrated utility as an indication-based diagnostic tool for certain diseases\, the full potential of DNA sequencing for population-level screening is yet to be realized. DNA-based population screening has enormous potential to identify people with underlying genetic predisposition to serious diseases such as cancer and heart disease\, who represent 1–2% of the population. Early detection\, disease prevention\, and timely treatment can improve health outcomes and equity\, and usher in a new era of precision public health. \nLearn more and register for this webinar on the CDC Genomics and Precision Health website. \nSpeakers: \nJonathan S. Berg\, MD\, PhD\nBryson Distinguished Professor\, Genetics and Medicine\nUniversity of North Carolina\nChapel Hill\, North Carolina \nLaura Milko\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, Genetics\nUniversity of North Carolina\nChapel Hill\, North Carolina
