Dramatic advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have made it possible to consider extending this technology to newborn screening (NBS). This session will identify ways in which NGS could be used to augment NBS, as well as technical challenges and Ethical/Legal/Social issues encountered in the NSIGHT studies that would need to be addressed in order for NGS-NBS to be widely adopted.
