Prenatal genomic medicine
Prenatal Genomic Medicine Network of Excellence
The prenatal genomic medicine network of excellence aims to ensure equity of access to high quality pre- and perinatal genomic medicine for all families across England, capitalising on new technological developments to deliver high quality testing for more conditions.
This Network of Excellence is co-led by the North Thames, Central and South and North East and Yorkshire Genomic Medicine Service teams.
Project plans
This Network of Excellence is split into three core work packages:
- Increase access to safer testing and reduce need for invasive procedures through non-invasive prenatal testing
-
-
- Increase access to rapid fetal sequencing and develop optimal care pathways, building on evidence collected in the EXPRESS study
- Build on rapid whole genome sequencing developed in North Thames Genomic Medicine Service
-
- With an emphasis of individuals from diverse backgrounds, consider where and how in pregnancy prenatal genomic testing should be delivered and develop innovative approaches to service delivery,
