Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This research is being done to see if whole genome sequencing (WGS) improves the diagnosis of patients in the NICU. Using WGS in this way, which is relatively new, researchers at Penn State College of Medicine will look at approximately 5000 genes that are known to be associated with genetic diseases to see if the neonatal patient has a known disease causing mutation. Comparing the parents' DNA with the child's will help the investigators better understand the child's DNA.
