Population Screening for Rare Pathogenic Variants as the Low Hanging Fruit for Public Health Genomics Across the Lifespan
![a family with a tree of DNA with low hanging circles of people and many different hands reaching to them](https://blogs.cdc.gov/genomics/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2023/02/2023-2_blog_pop_screening.jpg)
Rapid advances in human genome sequencing technologies have accelerated the integration of genomics into clinical practice. Genomics has demonstrated clinical utility as a diagnostic tool for certain diseases, but its potential for population screening is still work in progress. In principle, DNA-based population screening can identify persons with rare pathogenic variants who are at high Read More >
