Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new method for newborn screening using whole genome sequencing, called BeginNGS. Parents will be approached to provide informed consent to enroll their newborns in prenatal, postnatal, and outpatient settings. The main questions this study aims to answer are: What is the utility of BeginNGS as compared to state newborn screening? What is the acceptability and feasibility of BeginNGS as compared to state newborn screening? What is the cost effectiveness of BeginNGS as compared to state newborn screening? Enrolled newborns will have a blood sample taken and will receive the BeginNGS test. Newborns will have also had the state newborn screening test.
