Genetic Study to Determine the Cause of Birth Defects in Newborns in Texas
Sponsor: Baylor College of Medicine
Summary
The purpose of this study is to provide advanced genetic testing and virtual consultations for seriously ill newborns in hospitals in Texas with fewer resources, especially along the Texas-Mexico border. The researchers also want to know how well the virtual consultation tool, called Consultagene, works in these hospitals by gathering feedback from healthcare providers. Researchers will provide rapid whole genome sequencing (WGS) to 200 infants over a period of 5 years. Data will be collected via Consultagene, surveys, and qualitative interviews.
