Epilepsy is a neurological condition, often complex to diagnose and treat. For critically ill infants in the NICU, PICU, and CVICU, timely and accurate diagnosis of epilepsy is critical for effective treatment and care. Research shows that WGS/WES provides higher diagnostic yields compared to other methods, particularly for early-onset epilepsy and specific clinical features, providing substantial benefits for children aged 2-3 years. Baylor Genetics' WES and WGS offerings aim to end the diagnostic odyssey for patients with unexplained epilepsy, enabling informed patient care.

#TriviaTime Which of the following variants would pose the highest risk for developing a genetic disease?  A. Pathogenic complex trait variant  B. Pathogenic Mendelian variant  C. Benign complex trait variant  D. Mendelian variant of uncertain significance

The inheritance patterns of single-gene diseases are termed Mendelian, named after Gregor Mendel, who observed distinct patterns of inheritance in garden peas. His pioneering research into heredity and genetic variation has forever changed our understanding of biology and medicine. Inspired by his legacy, we push boundaries in genetic research, offering innovative testing solutions to help patients navigate their health journey with confidence. #ThinkBG #BGreat #FatherOfGenetics

Mendelian disorders are caused by one or a few genetic variants in a single gene. A study in Nature reveals that approximately 80% of all rare diseases are genetic, with most being monogenic/Mendelian. Baylor Genetics integrated patient data with the Baylor College of Medicine's AI-MARRVEL (AIM) model, which leverages data from over 3.5 million variants to help identify disease-causing variants across hundreds of patients. By combining our lab directors' expertise, curated datasets, and scalable automated technology, we're harnessing augmented intelligence to provide genetic insights into complex conditions.

Are you familiar with Project Baby Bear? It aimed to identify the clinical and economic impact of Rapid Whole Genome Sequencing (rWGS) for critically ill children who receive care in ICU settings across California.  The results revealed that of the 178 babies sequenced, 40% were diagnosed and 32% saw changes in treatment. Additionally,11% had qualified variants.  Learn more about how Baylor Genetics  rWGS/rWES, now with RNAseq, can offer you comprehensive insights and actionable diagnosis to improve outcomes for your patients: https://bit.ly/3Jt6FPZ
