ABSTRACT Substantial data supports the use of rapid exome and genome sequencing (rES/rGS) in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), but fewer studies have examined the impact of rES/rGS in other pediatric critical care units. We evaluated the impact on diagnostic yield and time to diagnosis following a single‐center hospital policy change allowing ...

ABSTRACT FOXA2 (hepatocyte nuclear factor‐3β, HNF‐3β) encodes a transcriptional activator involved in early embryogenesis, particularly in the patterning and differentiation of midline structures such as the neural tube, foregut, and pituitary gland. Its role in human pathogenesis was first suspected when patients with deletion of chromosome 20p11.2 ...
