Popular concepts such as gene testing, cell therapy, immunotherapy, gene editing and prenatal screening have been named.

In its development goals, the plan aims to cover more than 50 percent of all births with genetic testing (including pre-pregnancy, prenatal and newborn).

For much starker choices-and graver consequences-in development planning of genetic testing covers more than 50% of the population of target, is the Chinese people's political consultative conference (CPPCC) around the meeting, many CPPCC member has put this as a proposal, 2017 local governments incorporate genetic testing in public health project, especially the gene detects that a birth defects, accelerate the clinical application of gene detection technology, will certainly is a major work gripper.
