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.”
