Expanding the Utility of Exome Sequencing in Preventive and Population Genetics
ABSTRACT Carrier screening is a long‐standing genetic testing process offered to at‐risk couples, with or without a family history, who might have pregnancies affected by an autosomal recessive (AR) or X‐linked (XL) disorder. A total of 276 unrelated individuals, initially referred for rare disorder screening by clinicians, were enrolled in this study ...

Phenazopyridine‐Induced Sulfhemoglobinemia
ABSTRACT Prolonged phenazopyridine exposure can cause sulfhemoglobinemia and suspected oxidative hemolytic anemia. Persistent low pulse oximetry readings with indeterminate co‐oximetry warrant laboratory consultation. Management requires withdrawal of the offending drug and supportive care; methylene blue does not reverse sulfhemoglobinemia.
