CEO SUMMARY: Genetic medicine continues to support advances in precision medicine (or personalized medicine, if you prefer). This is true in pediatrics, where several statewide pilot programs—each involving tens of thousands of newborns—are publishing studies that demonstrate how exome, whole genome sequencing, and rapid whole genome sequencing can deliver both improved patient outcomes and a […]
