SouthSeq is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded clinical research study that aims to use genome sequencing to identify genetic variants that may contribute to the conditions of sick newborns, with the ultimate goal of providing diagnoses for these families. The study enrolled 640 babies representing racial and ethnic minorities as well as those from rural, medically underserved areas. This manuscript presents the results from a completed analysis of the first 367 babies enrolled.

This manuscript describes the results from sequencing 371 individuals with developmental delay or intellectual disability as part of the Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER) consortium. 100 affected individuals were found to harbor pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants. This study supports the value of large-scale sequencing for clinical and research progress related to pediatric neurological disease.
