From the moment the cost for universal genomic screen testing began to reduce, clinicians were eager to implement this test for all newborns. But many scientists were not on board. A research team from the Hastings Centre have raised concerns regarding genomic sequencing of all newborns.
Three of the company’s prototype genome-sequencing assays were evaluated using samples from lung cancer patients. Early support for the concept was demonstrated with detection rates ranging from 38% to 51% in participants in participants with early-stage lung cancer at 98% specificity.
The problem with the common cold is that it isn’t just one virus. It’s a family of viruses that evolve so quickly no one can ever be fully immune to the cold, and developing a vaccine that can tackle all of the variations of the virus is impossible.
