Article Synopsis
  • A study looked at how to find out why some babies are born with problems, known as congenital anomalies (CAs), especially in families where cousins marry.
  • They tested different methods on 168 kids with CAs, finding that a method called exome sequencing (ES) worked better than another method called chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for families where cousins marry.
  • The results suggest that using ES first can help doctors discover these problems more effectively in those families.
