Recent Advances in Genetic Screening

Genetic screening is moving from single-gene testing toward broader, faster and more preventive healthcare. New technologies are helping clinicians detect selected risks earlier, shorten diagnostic journeys and support more personalised care.

Genomic Newborn Screening

Next-generation sequencing is being studied to identify selected treatable childhood-onset conditions before symptoms appear. Research also focuses on consent, counselling, privacy and responsible reporting.

Rare Disease Discovery

Whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing can examine thousands of genes at once, helping doctors shorten the diagnostic journey for patients with complex or unexplained symptoms.

Precision Cancer Genetics

Hereditary cancer panels, tumour profiling and HRD testing can support risk assessment, treatment planning and family counselling. Non-invasive screening methods are also improving access to early detection.
