SummaryWhole-genome and whole-exome sequencing for clinical applications is now an integral part of medical genetics practice. The term newborn screening refers to public health programs designed to screen newborns for various treatable metabolic conditions, by measuring levels of circulating blood metabolites. The availability and significant decrease in sequencing costs has raised the question of whether metabolic newborn screening should be replaced by whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing. While newborn genome sequencing can potentially increase the number of disorders identified by newborn screening, the generalization of its practice raises a number of important ethical issues. This short article argues that there are medical, psychological, ethical and economic reasons why widespread dissemination of newborn screening is still premature.
