Abstract
Understanding of genetics has grown rapidly over the past 20 years and has led to the new diagnostic genetic technologies used in the NICU. These molecular genetic tests help diagnose neonates with congenital anomalies, growth disorders, and dysmorphic features. This article presents the basic molecular biology needed to understand such diagnostic tools. Neonatal intensive care nurses are on the forefront of this technology, and need to understand it so they can provide optimal nursing care and support to parents of neonates going through this advanced genetic testing.
