Ammira Al-Shabeeb First Newborn Genome Screening Program in the Middle East

Ammira Al-Shabeeb, Director and Lead Principal Investigator at Sidra Medicine, shared a post by Stephen Kingsmore, President/CEO at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine on LinkedIn:

“Joining BeginNGS Consortium marks a milestone for Sidra Medicine and NOOR-QATAR—the first newborn genome screening program in the Middle East—advancing better care for every newborn.”

Quoting Stephen Kingsmore‘s post:

“Our ability to diagnose and treat rare diseases depends on understanding how they present across diverse populations. That’s why international expansion of BeginNGS is so important. It allows us to learn from global incidence patterns and connect newborns to lifesaving treatments before symptoms take hold. I’m thrilled to welcome Sidra Medicineas the first international member of the BeginNGS Consortium.”
