Nikhil Ganjoo: Early Detection of Rare Diseases Through Newborn Genome Sequencing

Nikhil Ganjoo, Consultant Pediatrician at King’s College Hospital London – UAE, Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor at Gulf Medical University shared a post on LinkedIn :

“See the Rare. Protect the Future

Newborn Genome Testing Matters

Let’s talk Rare Diseases!

  • 1 in 15 children are affected
  • Most are genetic
  • Many go undiagnosed for years

But what if we could know at birth?

Newborn Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) could:

  • Find hidden conditions early
  • Prevent serious complications
  • Guide treatment sooner
  • Give families answers faster

Large programs like the UK Generation Study are already exploring this future. Newborn gene testing is also available in Dubai.

Pediatric experts agree — genomic medicine is transforming child health.

Earlier diagnosis. Better outcomes. Healthier futures.

Every child deserves the best possible start.

This Rare Disease Day – awareness saves lives.

Let’s start the chat and raise the awareness, one step at a time and one post at a time.”
