Comprehensive postmortem multiomic evaluation can identify causal genetic variants in severe, neonatal lethal conditions to provide anticipatory guidance for parents.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports postmortem genetic evaluation in unexplained neonatal deaths; leaves open broader prevalence and recurrence risk.
predicted to impact splicing, presumably resulting in severe deficiency of HIBCH enzyme activity. As both parents were carriers of the causal variant, anticipatory guidance was provided for risk reduction in future pregnancies. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive postmortem evaluation to evaluate severe, neonatal lethal conditions.
