Description:
This presentation will outline the experience at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM) in conducting multiple internal and external clinical research studies to investigate the clinical and economic utility of rapid genomic sequencing for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A review of the current literature will be presented as well as selected case studies to highlight the clinical utility of the rWGS testing approach. The advantages and challenges of rWGS will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the benefits of rapid genomic testing.
- Understand the current state of genomic testing and gaps existing in the literature.
- Assess the future directions and what data is needed for wide spread adoption of rapid genomic testing in the NICU.
