Whole Exome Screening of Newborns

Conditions
Infant, Newborn
Interventions
Genetic: Screening
Genetic: Family history record
Other: Questionnaire survey
Genetic: Selective screening
Genetic: Diagnostic
Registration Number
NCT05325749
Lead Sponsor
Federal State Budget Institution Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology Ministry of Healthcare
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to obtain the initial experience of the inclusive genetic screening of newborn.

Two groups of newborns born in RCOGP will be enlisted to the study:

1. newborns without developmental features having no variations according to an inherited diseases screening;

2. newborns showing either phenotypic features or deviations according to MS screening.

The residual volume of the cord blood of all newborns form both groups will be collected and subjected to the whole exome sequencing. The sequencing data will be analyzed in "screening" mode for the first group while for the second group analysis will be performed taking the respective phenotype into account.

The study is planned to cover 7000 newborns in total.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Phenotype-associated variants2 weeks - 2 months

Pathogenic, likely pathogenic variants or variants of uncertain significance corresponding to the observed clinical conditions

Motivations for refuse to participate1 day

Questionnaire answers provided by families refused to enroll

Estimate the frequency of revealing patients carrying genotype associated with a monogenic disese.3-5 months

The manifestation of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants leading to a monogenic disease presenting during early age.

A genotype is considered having risk of developping a monogenic disease in case pathogenic or probably pathogenic variants are detected corresponding to the inheritance model.

Acceptance of advanced screening1 day

Questionnaire answers provided by families accepted screening for variants of low penetrance, no care available etc.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Oncological risk1 day

Pathogenic or a likely pathogenic variant causing high risk of developping a cancer

Cardiological risk1 day

Pathogenic or a likely pathogenic variant causing high risk of developping a cardiomyopathy or a sudden cardiac death

Recessive carriers1 day

Inheritance of a pathogenic or a likely pathogenic variant causing to an autosomal recessive disease
