N-Care Project: Enhancing Asian-Pacific Collaboration
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
Through Asian-Pacific multinational collaboration, we aim to utilize third-generation genome sequencing to rapidly diagnose genetic diseases in critically ill infants and young children, achieving the goal of early diagnosis for targeted treatment.

Interventions
Genetic study with nanopore sequencing
The study targets critically ill children under 18 months of age, employing third-generation genome sequencing technology to complete long-read sequencing within 8-11 days, analyzing single nucleotide variants, small insertions/deletions, and structural variations. Through this research, we aim to enhance diagnostic accuracy, enabling ICUs to provide personalized and precision care and treatment based on genetic information, thereby ensuring a greater level of health security for these children. We only draw 3-5cc whole blood once for exam.
