.@GeisingerADMI team members led by @amorenodeluca recently published a meta-analysis examining diagnostic yield of exome sequencing in cerebral palsy. Data support use of exome sequencing in evaluation of cerebral palsy @GeisingerRsrch

[JAMA Pediatrics @JAMAPediatrics]

Meta-analysis of genetic testing in cerebral palsy (CP) found a diagnostic yield of exome sequencing (ES) of 31%, supporting the inclusion of CP in the current recommendation of ES as a first-tier test for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. https://t.co/OXezIaoiTF
