Abstract
Genetic testing has progressed rapidly over the past two decades and is becoming common in paediatrics. This statement provides an overview of recent developments that may impact genetic testing in children. Genetics is a rapidly evolving field, and this statement focuses specifically on expanded newborn screening, next generation sequencing (NGS), incidental findings, direct-to-consumer testing, histocompatibility testing, and genetic testing in a research context.
