Abstract Rapid whole-genome sequencing (rWGS) enables timely diagnosis and management of critically ill patients, particularly in consanguineous populations with a high burden of recessive diseases. Here we report Little Falcon, a citywide rWGS program implemented within centralized neonatal and pediatric intensive care units in Dubai. In total, 100 critically ill patients from 18 Middle Eastern and Asian countries underwent trio rWGS with a median turnaround time of 3.4 days.
