Introduction: Prematurity is a risk factor for the growth and development of neonates. Objective: To analyze clinical and speech therapy characteristics of neonates hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit with suspected genetic disease. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a hospital in southern Brazil with data collection between November 2020 and September 2021. All neonates who were hospitalized in the ICU attended by the public health system and who were suspected of having genetic etiologies were followed up by the Speech-Language Pathology team. All newborn`s medical records with suspected genetic alterations were analyzed and the medical and the speech-language pathology data were analyzed. Results: The sample consisted of 14 premature neonates with a mean gestational age of 36 weeks and 5 days and a mean time of birth, at the time of the speech-language pathology assessment, of 14.6 days of life. Regarding to comorbidities, 71.4% of newborns had some malformation, being multiple in most cases (64.29%). All neonates were using enteral feeding at the time of the speech-language evaluation. At the oral reflexes evaluation it was observed that there was a predominance of patients with a weak rooting reflex and most of them had a present sucking reflex. Conclusions: In this study the sample consisted of mainly premature patients who had multiple malformations and all of them used an alternative feeding route, thus suggesting the demand for speech therapy as part of the multidisciplinary care of these neonates.
