Non-Cystic Fibrosis-Related Meconium Ileus: GUCY2C-Associated Disease Discovered through Rapid Neonatal Whole-Exome Sequencing.

Meconium ileus is caused by cystic fibrosis; however, mutations in the GUCY2C gene also cause this disease. We report non-cystic fibrosis meconium ileus in an infant of non-Middle Eastern origin with compound heterozygous mutations in GUCY2C.

Fertility Treatment Is Associated with Stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Respiratory Support in Late Preterm Infants.

Late preterm infants are at risk for short-term morbidities. We report that late preterm singletons conceived with fertility treatment have increased risk for admission to the neonatal intensive care unit and respiratory support compared with spontaneously conceived infants. Fertility treatment may be a risk factor to consider in managing late preterm infants.
