Genomics benefits babies with hearing loss European Journal of Human Genetics David Amor Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance


Read the evidence European Journal of Human Genetics rdcu.be/bYVte babies with hearing impairment should be offered genomic sequencing, diagnostic yield tripled, management changed for 92% of those diagnosed

Great to see this finally out European Journal of Human Genetics! Massive congrats Lilian Downie David Amor Heidi Rehm Valerie Sung Seb Lunke Victorian Clinical Genetics Services (VCGS) Elly lynch m_martyn Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance! Building the #evidence for #genomics: rdcu.be/bYVte
