About this study
Official title: The Pre-clinical Study of Genomic Sequencing for Birth Defects in Newborns
In China, birth defects can reach as high as 5.6%, about 900,000 new cases of birth defects are added each year, making it the second cause of death for infants, with a total death rate of 19.1%. At present, China implements the three-level prevention and control system for birth defects, which is performed before marriage, before birth, and during the neonatal period. Newborn screening is the last line of defense against birth defects. Early screening diagnosis and timely intervention are extremely important, especially for diseases which can be preventive and treatable. This study aims to evaluate the clinical application of high-throughput targeting sequencing in newborns, and investigate whether this new technology can significantly shorten the time of examination, improve the diagnosis rate, guide the intervention treatments and promote prognosis for these disease.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
NGS panelDiagnostic test
A next-generation-sequencing panel, which contains a group of genes that specifically cause disease, for mutational analysis in newborns.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mortality
Incidence of death
Measured: At corrected age of 18 months
Disability Rate
Incidence of disability. Disability defined as a physical or mental handicap, especially one that prevents a person from living a full, normal life or from holding a gainful job.
Measured: At corrected age of 18 months
Allele Frequency
Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the relative frequency of an allele (variant of a gene) at a particular locus in the population the investigators studied, expressed as a percentage.
Measured: In 120 days after receipt of all the patients' sequencing data

Primary outcome
Mortality
Time frame: At corrected age of 18 months
Incidence of death
Disability Rate
Time frame: At corrected age of 18 months
Incidence of disability. Disability defined as a physical or mental handicap, especially one that prevents a person from living a full, normal life or from holding a gainful job.
Allele Frequency
Time frame: In 120 days after receipt of all the patients' sequencing data
Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the relative frequency of an allele (variant of a gene) at a particular locus in the population the investigators studied, expressed as a percentage.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Mortality (time frame: At corrected age of 18 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Apr 2022.
