泰国的朱拉隆功大学(Chulalongkorn University)开始进行新生儿基因组筛查, Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University starts newborn genome screening to detect 113 treatable childhood diseases using cord blood.

泰国的Chulalongkorn大学启动了一个新生儿基因组测序项目,利用长读技术查明113种可治疗的儿童疾病的遗传风险。 Chulalongkorn University in Thailand has launched a newborn genome sequencing project using long-read technology to identify genetic risks for 113 treatable childhood diseases. 这项计划得到该大学伦理委员会的批准,将在第一年对大约300名婴儿进行筛查,方法是分析无痛脊髓血样。 The initiative, approved by the university’s ethics committee, will screen about 300 infants in its first year by analyzing painless umbilical cord blood samples. 成果在60天内交付,重点是与头五年出现的情况有关的246个基因,从而能够进行早期干预和个性化护理。 Results, delivered within 60 days, focus on 246 genes linked to conditions appearing in the first five years, enabling early intervention and personalized care. 据报,为了避免对成人发病的焦虑,只有儿童发病、可采取行动的病情才能避免。 Only childhood-onset, actionable conditions are reported to avoid anxiety over adult-onset diseases. 该项目旨在通过早期发现和终生健康监测,推进预防、精准医学。 The project aims to advance preventive, precision medicine through early detection and lifelong health monitoring.
