Perceived Benefits, Risks, and Utility of Newborn Genomic Sequencing in the BabySeq Project.

Background And Objectives: There is interest in applying genomic sequencing (GS) to newborns' clinical care. Here we explore parents' and clinicians' attitudes toward and perceptions of the risks, benefits, and utility of newborn GS compared with newborn screening (NBS) prior to receiving study results.

Methods: The BabySeq Project is a randomized controlled trial used to explore the impact of integrating GS into the clinical care of newborns.
