What is Known: • Genetic disorders are suspected in many neonates but only genetically confirmed in a minority. • The presence of a genetic disorder can be easily missed and will often lead to a diagnostic odyssey requiring extensive evaluations, both clinically and genetically.

What is New: • Different aspects of the clinical features and uptake of genetic test in a NICU cohort. • The need to improve genetic care in the NICU for more inclusive, earlier, and faster genetic diagnosis to enable tailored management.
