The  Task  Force  for  Neonatal  Genomics  applies  genome  sequencing  and  analysis  to  the  diagnosis  and  clinical  management  of  children  with  developmental  and  congenital  anatomical  defects.    

Our  mission  is  to  determine  under  what  parameters  genome  sequencing  can  be  implemented  as  a  tool  to  inform  and  guide  pa?ent  management  in  a  scien?fically  robust  and  ethically  responsible  fashion.
