SeqFirst-neo uses a genotype-driven workflow with broad exclusion criteria to increase access to rapid whole genome sequencing in critically ill newborns, significantly improving the rate and equity of precise genetic diagnoses.

The paper identifies heterozygous missense variants in ACTC1 as the cause of distal arthrogryposis with congenital heart defects in five families.

The paper identifies genetic variants in South African children with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies and proposes a 'Think-Genetics' strategy for early genetic diagnosis in resource-limited settings.

The paper identifies mutations in MYLPF causing segmental amyoplasia with distal arthrogryposis, showing both dominant and recessive inheritance patterns and linking MYLPF impairment to muscle degeneration.
