Speedy gene test aims to give answers on birth defects in just 7 days

This study tested whether a fast type of genetic test called rapid genome sequencing can find the cause of birth defects seen on ultrasound more quickly than current methods. Researchers included 184 pregnancies with certain ultrasound findings. The goal was to see if results could be delivered in less than 7 days and how often a genetic cause was found. This is a research study to gather information, not a treatment.
