Houston, August 14, 2025 -- Baylor Genetics, a clinical diagnostic laboratory at the forefront of genetic testing, today announced a clinical webinar highlighting pediatric cases in which Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) delivered diagnostic insights that traditional genetic testing methods could not achieve.
What:
Baylor Genetics will host a 30-minute webinar, titled “From Symptoms to Sequencing: Diagnostic Insights from 3 Pediatric Genome Sequencing Cases,” presenting three pediatric cases, each involving a patient with a complex presentation and illustrating how a comprehensive sequencing approach enabled timely diagnosis and informed care decisions. The session will cover the following cases:
- 4-year-old with neurological symptoms clarified using RNA sequencing data
- 9-day-old NICU patient with respiratory insufficiency and motor disorder; diagnosed via uniparental disomy (UPD)
- 4-year-old with global developmental delay and failure to thrive; novel noncoding variant identified
The American College of Medical Genetics found that WGS delivers a higher diagnostic yield compared to traditional genetic testing methods such as gene panels, chromosomal microarray, and exome sequencing. Attend this webinar to learn how Baylor Genetics is reducing time to diagnosis and improving clinical management through comprehensive sequencing, advanced multiomic analysis, artificial intelligence, and expert medical review, illustrated through three complex pediatric cases.
