PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of rapid-turnaround exome sequencing in critically ill neonates using phenotype-based subject selection criteria. METHODS: Intensive care unit babies aged <6 months with hypotonia, seizures, a complex metabolic phenotype, and/or multiple congenital malformations were prospectively enrolled for rapid (<7 day) trio-based exome sequencing. Genomic variants relevant to the presenting phenotype were…
