star this property answer text <p>The 100,000 Genomes Project is focussed on recruiting patients, including children, with rare diseases (and their family members) and those with common cancers. These are areas where whole genome sequencing may offer the best opportunity to diagnose disease. From the Project’s pilot phase we have found actionable findings in 20-25% of rare disease patients.</p><p> </p><p>The scope of the project does not include screening at birth. The Chief Medical Officer, in her annual report Generation Genome, recommended that that the National Screening Committee conducts a systematic evaluation of the opportunities offered by genomics for present and potential screening practices.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority decided on 15 December 2016 to allow the use mitochondrial donation for risk reduction treatments in certain cases where alternative treatments would be of little or no benefit to mothers at risk of passing mitochondrial disease onto their children. This decision was taken after considering the independent Expert Panel’s fourth report on the latest evidence of safety and efficacy and following a comprehensive and rigorous process of assessment and review of the scientific evidence over the last six years. Before any treatment is offered to affected families, there are still two more licencing processes to be completed. The first to ensure that the clinic meets the required suitability standards and the second a case by case assessment of each individual as required by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Mitochondrial Donation) Regulations 2015.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England is the designated commissioner of the National Health Service service for mitochondrial donation and will fund the treatment costs of the service, alongside an evaluative research project funded by the Wellcome Trust, which will assess and monitor follow-up and outcomes.</p><p> </p><p>Mitochondrial donation does not fit within the definition in law of a clinical trial for the purpose of compliance with the EU Clinical Trial Directive 2001/20/EC. The Directive relates to clinical trials of medicinal products governed by the medicines licensing regime set out in the Medicinal Products Directive and is part of a suite of European measures which set out common rules across the European Union to ensure the free movement of safe medicines.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not agree with the characterisation of mitochondrial donation as a form of genetic modification. The mitochondrial donation techniques do not involve the germ-line modification of nuclear DNA in the chromosomes that can be passed on to future generations, which is the Chief Medical Officer’s working definition of genetic modification in humans.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England nationally commissions the rare mitochondrial disease service for adults and children, which provides a comprehensive diagnostic service for patients suffering from mitochondrial disease.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Several of the actions in the 2022 and 2023 England Rare Diseases Action Plans focus on genomic approaches to provide faster diagnosis for people with undiagnosed rare conditions, including genetic conditions. However, for some people living with extremely rare diseases, the complex and rare nature of their conditions may mean that they never receive a diagnosis. We are committed to ensuring that these people and their families also receive the support and care they need.</p><p>In the England Rare Diseases Action Plan 2022 NHS England committed to ‘pilot new approaches for patients with undiagnosed conditions’ (action 5). To address this commitment, during 2022, NHS England developed a proposal for a syndrome without a name (SWAN) Pilot Programme for people whose conditions remain undiagnosed. It will progress through the NHS England finance and governance processes and there will be a clearer plan for delivery in the next few months. If the SWAN Pilot Programme expands such that there is a need for a service specification, the normal processes would be followed in terms of engaging with stakeholders, including consulting with patients and the public on the delivery of the Programme.</p>
