BABIES' NEW TEST FOR 200 DISEASES

NEWBORNS will start to receive a pioneering genetic test for 200 devastating diseases on the NHS.

The pilot trial will test up to 100,000 babies to start to redress a situation where many diseases are not treated early enough before irreversible damage has occurred.

The Generation Study comes as the UK trails much of the world for the number of inherited diseases it routinely tests for at birth, leaving many children disabled despite available treatments.
