Case Study: U of U Health Genetics gives families answers faster with ARUP Laboratories' rapid genome sequencing

U of U Health Genetics finds Cal’s diagnosis in 2 weeks with ARUP Laboratories

The customer, U of U Health Genetics, collaborated with ARUP Laboratories to address the challenge of diagnosing critically ill newborns in the NICU. The urgent need was to rapidly identify the genetic causes of rare diseases to shorten hospital stays and improve clinical care for families.

ARUP Laboratories implemented its rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS) service and advanced computational analysis through the Utah NeoSeq Project. The solution provided a diagnosis for a newborn within two weeks, ending the family's diagnostic odyssey and connecting them to a support network. The measurable impact of ARUP's work includes providing answers for over 60 families and paving the way for personalized patient care and future research into new genetic conditions.
