Why Screen My Child's Genomics?

By investing in your child’s health with myNewborn Health Screening, you can take a proactive approach to their wellbeing from the start. While the standard heel stick blood test at birth only screens for about 30 treatable conditions, this comprehensive health screening analyzes your child’s DNA for nearly 400 genetic and metabolic conditions that may manifest during childhood. With early detection, you can take proactive steps to ensure your child receives the support and personalized healthcare they need to thrive throughout their life.

How it Works

Why is Genomic Screening for Newborns Important?

Newborn genomic screening is crucial for identifying potential risks and ensuring proactive healthcare management. myNewborn Health Screening is a comprehensive genetic screening test that uses Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) to analyze a newborn's DNA for pathogenic variants related to actionable childhood-onset diseases.

Early detection of these variants enables healthcare providers to develop personalized monitoring and treatment plans, ultimately improving outcomes for newborns and children. With myNewborn, you can take a proactive approach to your child's health, ensuring they receive the care and support they need to thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does genomic sequencing help my family?

Whole genome sequencing allows all your genetic material to be read by creating a library about you. In this way you will be able to know the relevant information today to prevent and have access to updates in the future, accessing your library again. This means that from now on you can personalize, with the help of your specialist, your health care based on what makes you unique: your DNA.

Why should I purchase myNewborn?

MyNewborn offers early screening for genetic diseases that appear during the first stages of life, providing key information for preventive management, diet or early treatment. The test complements the conventional heel prick test, improving clinical utility. The test is indicated for newborns and children in the first years of life who do not present symptoms of genetic disease and is performed on blood or by saliva.

How does the myNewborn test work?

MyNewborn is a genetic sequencing test that is performed from a small sample of your baby's cord blood. We sequence the entire exome (Whole Exome Sequencing) and issue a results report, the impact of which must be assessed by a specialist. All our tests include pre- and post-test genetic counseling.

How long does it take to receive my results?

The entire process from receiving your sample, analyzing the information, and producing your newborn's results takes up to 8 weeks. The estimated delivery time varies because every person’s genomic information is unique and may require different degrees of analysis.

Is Genomic Testing covered by my insurance?

You may be able to pay for the test via your FSA or HSA account.
