US health regulators loosen rules for newborn genetic tests

What happened
US health regulators are making it easier to approve devices that detect genetic variations in newborns. This means manufacturers can bring these tests to market faster, potentially giving parents more options.

This change moves them into a category with specific, but less burdensome, requirements. Companies can now develop and sell these tests more quickly, which could increase their use in diagnosing conditions in infants.
The signal
