How 'priceless' genome sequencing helped two-year-old's epilepsy

Kris Daly and Claire Cole explained to the BBC how genome sequencing has helped their daughter Millie-Mae, who has a rare form of epilepsy.

They were offered whole genome sequencing last year, after she had been repeatedly admitted to hospital with uncontrolled seizures.

It is part of a project conducted by Addenbrooke's Hospital and the University of Cambridge, which has found that one in four children in intensive care who had their genome sequenced, had a genetic disorder.
