標題: | The incorporation of next-generation sequencing into pediatric care | 作者: | NI-CHUNG LEE | 公開日期: | 14-十一月-2022 | 來源出版物: | Pediatrics and neonatology | 摘要: | Genetic condition is one of the major etiologies causing morbidity and mortality in infants and children. More and more etiologies can be solved using next-generation sequencing (NGS) as it develops. Currently, whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) have been highly integrated into clinical practice. The average diagnostic yield of WES/WGS in pediatric patients with genetic condition was around 40% (range: 21%-80%), with acceptable turnaround time and cost. The higher diagnostic yield categories are deafness, ophthalmic, neurological, skeletal conditions, and inborn error of metabolism. Positive results provide benefit with those for actionable diseases, next pregnancy planning, and family members. For those in critical condition, with the emergence of sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis tools, provisional diagnosis can be made as short as 13.5 h using ultrarapid WGS. We believe this powerful tool has changed pediatric daily practice. |
