Excited to share @MacKenzieTippi and team’s @NEJM case study, describing in utero enzyme replacement treatment of a fetus with infantile-onset Pompe—a lysosomal storage disease. The results encourage further investigation of prenatal therapy. nej.md/3NM3Avl

RESEARCH NEWS: In 2020 Ayla was diagnosed w/ a deadly disease before she was born, but her mom couldn't travel to our hospital for care due to the pandemic. Dr. @MackenzieTippi shared her protocol with MDs in Ottawa & gave Ayla a chance at a healthy life! ucsfh.org/3NVZ0L6

Both parents and providers agree that rapid exome and genome sequencing is useful in care for critically ill newborns. We believe the same is true in pregnancy and guiding fetal therapy. fetus.ucsf.edu/research/feta…
Our 2 new studies find that a majority of MDs & parents of babies in the NICU, with diseases of unknown origin, believe #GenomicSequencing as a first-tier diagnostic is helpful in guiding care. Published today in @AJHGNews. #PrecisionMedicine radygenomics.org/2020/11/05/…

Prenatal exome sequencing identifies diagnostic variants in ~1/3 of unexplained non-immune hydrops fetalis cases. Study by @TeresaNSparks, @pndxdoc, @UCSFfetal & @UCfetal in current issue @NEJM. Editorial by @Mark_D_Kilby. Funded by @FetalHealthFndn @NICHD_NIH #HyDROPS, #MFM

Huge thank you to @NEJM for publishing our work on exome sequencing to establish a clear diagnosis for non-immune hydrops cases with normal results of standard testing. Accurate diagnosis allows us to focus and improve our care for these families. @UCSFcmfpm @UCSF_ObGynRS
Nonimmune hydrops fetalis has marked genetic heterogeneity. Accurate diagnosis enables focused prenatal management and early, directed neonatal care. This study involving 127 affected fetuses provides a diagnostic yield of sequencing the fetal exome.

Kudos to Teresa Sparks and Genomic Medicine Laboratory team genomics.ucsf.edu in showing the diagnostic utility of whole exome sequencing in prenatal non-immune hydrops nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…. The power of genomic interpretation at UCSF!!
