Genetic disorders and associated morbidity, mortality, and congenital anomalies in preterm infants born at less than 34 weeks of gestation
1.3% of early preterm infants were diagnosed with genetic disorders. Genetic disorders were strongly associated with morbidity, mortality, and congenital anomalies. Clinicians should strongly consider genetic evaluation in early preterm infants with morbidity, mortality, or congenital anomalies. Prospective research is needed to determine the true prevalence of genetic disorders in this high-risk population.
