Among 1.555 admissions (486 in reanimation, 1069 in neonatology), 63, that is 4%, concerned the clinical geneticist.

The advice of the genetic counsellor was requested 8 times for an urgent case, and to arrive at a decision about a reanimation, 7 times before the death of a patient for the management of diagnostic techniques: biopsy, blood or urines sent to a specialized center.
