Rapid whole genome sequencing impacts care and resource utilization in infants with congenital heart disease
Abstract Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly and a major cause of infant morbidity and mortality. While morbidity and mortality are highest in infants with underlying genetic conditions, molecular diagnoses are ascertained in only ~20% of cases using widely adopted g...
