Through the Generation Study, baby Freddie’s rare eye cancer was detected just weeks after he was born - before any symptoms appeared.

His mother said, "There were no signs that anything was wrong - he was a normal little baby, so the results came totally out of the blue."

Thanks to early detection, Freddie was able to begin treatment quickly, giving him the best chance of saving his vision.

Read Freddie’s story on the BBC:

The Rosie Hospital was one of the first NHS trusts to be involved in this ground-breaking study, and hundreds of newborns at the Rosie have already been tested for more than 200 rare genetic conditions.

Baby Freddie's rare eye cancer was spotted as part of a study of 100,000 newborn babies in England.

This week we acknowledge the millions of parents who have lost a baby. Our research teams are working to try and reduce the number who will experience this tragedy in the future.

Professor Gordon Smith is head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Cambridge and Ambassador for the Sands Charity. His internationally recognised research is looking for better ways to predict problems in pregnancy, so families get the care they need. Professor Smith and his team have a special focus on work to save babies’ lives and improve pregnancy care, such as the Pregnancy Outcome Prediction Study 2 (POPS2) which is recruiting now at the Rosie.
