Implementing Publicly Funded Fetal Exome Sequencing: A Statewide Multidisciplinary Model for Equitable Integration of Genomics Into Perinatal Care
This study demonstrates the feasibility and clinical utility of a state-funded MDT-led perinatal ES program in Australia. It highlights equitable access across population groups, supports the value of structured implementation, and underscores the need for ongoing evaluation to ensure equitable genomic care delivery.
