Exome-wide analysis of congenital kidney anomalies reveals new genes and shared architecture with developmental disorders

This study identifies new genes and shared genetic architecture between kidney anomalies and other developmental disorders using exome-wide analysis of clinical cohorts.

The Contribution of Commonly Diagnosed Genetic Disorders to Small for Gestational Age Birth and Subsequent Morbidity and Mortality in Preterm Infants

This study finds genetic disorders are strongly associated with preterm small for gestational age birth and increased morbidity/mortality in preterm infants.

Prevalence and Clinical Significance of Commonly Diagnosed Genetic Disorders in Preterm Infants

This study finds that 1.3% of preterm infants have genetic disorders, with higher rates in those who died or had severe morbidity, and identifies specific disorders linked to increased morbidity and mortality.

Implementation of Rapid Genome Sequencing for Infants with Congenital Heart Disease

This study evaluates rapid genome sequencing in infants with congenital heart disease, finding genetic diagnoses in 27% of cases and clinical management changes in 62% of diagnosed infants.
