Among the infants who received abnormal results, one-quarter were not suspected of having a genetic syndrome, emphasizing the value of broad-based testing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRapid genome sequencing in the NICU has the power to transform clinical approaches and therefore improve overall health outcomes for critically ill newborns, as evidenced by our ongoing analyses of the data,\u201d said Dr. Paul Kruszka, Chief Medical Officer of GeneDx at Sema4. \u201cBy increasing utilization of rapid genomic testing as early as possible we can put patients and families on the right treatment path and decrease inequities in genetic diagnoses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Researchers for the SeqFirst study analyzed the electronic medical records for every newborn under 6 months of age admitted to the NICU at Seattle Children\u2019s Hospital since January 2021. One hundred and twenty-five newborns were included in the study \u2013 infants whose admissions to the NICU were not fully explained by prematurity, trauma, or infection \u2013 with rWGS performed in parallel with standard clinical care to enable a comparison of diagnostic rates, referrals, and outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Results of the SeqFirst study will provide guidance about the best ways to use whole genome sequencing in helping families of children with health conditions find a precise genetic diagnosis, better anticipate their child\u2019s needs, and take advantage of new treatments. Sema4|GeneDx has played a key role in pediatric disease diagnosis for hundreds of thousands of patients. With a database of approximately 400,000 clinical exomes and corresponding clinical information, the company is a key driver in understanding gene-disease relationships.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Sema4|GeneDx<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Sema4|GeneDx is a patient-centered health intelligence company dedicated to advancing healthcare through data-driven insights.
