As the number of genetic findings related to autism and neurodevelopmental disorders has risen and the cost of genome sequencing has fallen, the possibility of screening newborns for a subset of genetic conditions has come into view. The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) convened a one-day virtual workshop to explore and discuss opportunities and challenges for early detection of neurodevelopmental disorders through genomic sequencing.
