Rapid genetic testing for newborns with certain health issues
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study offers fast genetic testing for newborns who have abnormal results on routine screens or unexplained health problems like low muscle tone, seizures, odd lab results, or bone issues. The goal is to quickly find possible genetic causes to help guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is a newborn (any age, including premature).
- Your baby had an abnormal result on a routine newborn screening test.
- Your baby has unexplained low muscle tone or seizures that started soon after birth.
- Your baby has unexplained and unusual lab results from blood or other tests.
- Your baby has bone or joint problems (like skeletal dysplasia).

This research study tests a new way to screen newborns for hundreds of genetic diseases using a sample of their blood or saliva. It aims to find conditions early so your baby can get the right care sooner.
This study quickly reads a child’s DNA using whole genome sequencing to look for genetic causes of symptoms. It may help families and doctors better understand an underlying genetic condition and guide medical care.
This study looks at using rapid DNA testing (genomics) in newborns and children who are very sick in the hospital (NICU or PICU). The goal is to see if finding a genetic cause early can help guide treatment and improve outcomes.
This study offers genetic testing for infants under 18 months who are in intensive care with certain health problems that may be genetic. The goal is to find a genetic cause quickly, which could guide care and treatment.
This study uses a two-step genetic test (fast whole-genome sequencing followed by RNA testing if needed) to find the cause of unexplained, life-threatening conditions in newborns. The goal is to get a precise diagnosis faster, which could guide better care for your baby.
This trial offers free genetic screening for rare diseases in newborns. It aims to find health conditions early so babies can get the right care sooner.
