Rapid genetic testing for newborns with health concerns
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study offers fast genetic testing for newborns who have abnormal screening results, weak muscle tone, seizures, unusual lab results, or bone or joint problems. The goal is to find genetic causes quickly so doctors can provide better care sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby can be any age from birth to 28 days (newborn).
- Your baby had an abnormal result on a routine newborn screening test.
- Your baby has unexplained weak muscle tone (hypotonia) or seizures starting in the newborn period.
- Your baby has unexplained abnormal lab results.

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 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.
This study looks for genetic causes of birth defects in newborn babies. If your baby has a suspected genetic condition and other tests haven't found a clear cause, this study may help find answers.
