The Pioneering Women Behind Fentanyl-Related Syndrome Discovery
You may have seen in the news recently—in stories airing on NBC, and published in The Philadelphia Inquirer[PA1] and USA Today—, the extraordinary study conducted by researchers at Nemours Children’s Hospital, Delaware. The study revealed that at least 10 babies have what doctors believe to be a new syndrome related to exposure to fentanyl in the womb. Erin Wadman, LCGC, Karen Gripp, MD, and Erica Fernandes, DO, along with their colleagues, published their findings in Genetics in Medicine Open. Get to know the women behind this groundbreaking research here: What inspired you to pursue this research study? Wadman: The opportunity presented itself to me from working in outpatient genetics and the Cleft and Craniofacial clinic. I was noticing a pattern of patients who had similar physical differences but who also had no genetic diagnosis on genetic testing. All these patients had significant exposures to fentanyl during the pregnancy. From there, we knew we were on […]

Since 2018, Nemours Children’s Health has been funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to help states create healthier early care and education (ECE) programs and state systems through the Healthy Kids, Healthy Future Technical Assistance Program (HKHF TAP).

From Immobility to Independence: Yanex’s Story
Yanex’s story began at just nine months old, when his primary care physician noticed something amiss. Keyshla, his mother, recalls that during a routine check-up, she expressed concerns about Yanex’s lack of developmental progress. He wasn’t attempting to sit or crawl, and his movements were limited to lifting his head when placed face down. However, it was Yanex’s head shape that raised the most concern for his doctor. During this check-up, Yanex’s physician ordered an X-ray. That day, the report arrived with a diagnosis of craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis, a problem where one or more seams between bones in a child’s skull closes too soon, had a significant impact on Yanex’s life prior to treatment. “Yanex only looked comfortable when he was in the car seat, stroller, swing or while being held,” says Keyshla. “He was also exclusively breastfeeding for over a year. Yanex was not independent in the slightest, as if […]
