Death of 13-Day-Old
Full-term Healthy Baby Boy
Based on a true story, how a Pharmacogenomics test could have prevented a tragedy. A preventable death of a 13-day-old baby as reported by Koren G. et al. in 2006. The baby died due to a high concentration of morphine from the breast milk. The mom was unaware her DNA (Ultra rapid metaboliser) would convert the codeine-based painkiller medicine into an overly high morphine level in her blood and eventually pass through the breast milk to the baby.¹
