Comprehensive Genomic Sequencing–Based Screening for Hearing Loss in the Neonatal Intensive Care Setting—Is It Time?
AN Abou Tayoun, JAMA Network Open, July 11, 2022 (Posted: Jul 11, 2022 1PM)

A recent study suggests that targeted genetic screening—using population-specific common pathogenic variants—combined with physiological and cytomegalovirus testing may be an effective newborn screening strategy for hearing loss, in critically ill neonates and beyond. This combinatory approach has the additional benefit of identifying mild and later-onset hearing loss and providing valuable genetic information that is often missed by traditional NHBS. However, additional work is needed to characterize the genetic landscape of hearing loss across populations and to define the optimal population-wide genetic screening method for deafness.

Diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection from clinical whole genome sequencing
N Ramchandar et al, Scientific Reports, July 3, 2020 (Posted: Jul 04, 2020 7AM)

Rapid whole genome sequencing of peripheral blood has been used to detect microbial DNA in acute infections. Cytomegalovirus is a herpesvirus capable of causing severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. We identified CMV by matching reads that did not align to the human reference genome to a database of microbial genomes
