Pregnant Latinas' views of adopting exome sequencing into newborn screening: A qualitative study.

Purpose: There are, currently, conflicting opinions about the adoption of exome sequencing (ES) into the standard newborn screening program. This study aimed to explore the views of pregnant Latinas, a hard-to-reach, underserved, and understudied population, about pursuing ES for their newborns.

Methods: We conducted semistructured interviews with 32 pregnant Latinas who predominately lived in rural areas and had low levels of income and education.
