Neonatal Screening in Europe: On the Brink of a New Era
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It seems that European collaboration on neonatal screening has gained momentum in recent years, with three international conferences on European neonatal screening this autumn. We would like to use that momentum to present the IJNS Special Issue ‘Neonatal screening in Europe: on the brink of a new era’. This Special Issue focuses on contributions dealing with European policies (disease-specific), European patient organisations (disease-specific), biobanking and registries, laboratories, and clinical and diagnostic collaborations. The common denominator should be cross-European border collaboration, so we expect contributions to be submitted by several or many European co-authors. Scientific manuscripts, opinions and reviews are welcomed.
