👏 Fantastic news from @GenomicsEngland today that demonstrates the power of #GenomicsResearch in action!
❤️ Baby Freddie’s story is a wonderful example of the impact of this vital research, we are incredibly proud to support the delivery of the #GenerationStudy here in the SW!
4 weeks after being born, Freddie was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer. He is one of numerous babies born with rare conditions who are receiving earlier diagnoses and treatment as a result of the Generation Study.

ALT Text saying 'Very shortly after his diagnosis, Freddie was able to start treatment at Birmingham Children's Hospital. This gives doctors the best chance to minimise the impact on his vision.' and a photo of Freddie, his parents and sibling on a blue, yellow and pink background.

ALT Quote from Dr Rich Scott, Chief Executive Officer of Genomics England on a pink and white background saying “We believe genomics can transform healthcare in this country and be used to get ahead of serious illness. It’s been incredibly moving to see the lifechanging impact the Generation Study is having for families like Freddie’s, who have been able to access treatment that makes a world of difference soon after being born.”.
