DNA is the blueprint of your child's health: Why is genetic health screening important?
Newborn genetic testing is the most recent pediatric healthcare innovation that is a must learn for every parent. Understanding your child's genetic health can answer questions on their risk of inherited genetic disease and genetic variants that occur during development. Start a lifetime of genetic insights today with Fore Genomics' genetic health screen.
11% of children are born with genetic predisposition to disease.
An estimated 30,000,000 Americans live with genetic disease. With 70% of genetic diseases surfacing during childhood, parents have the opportunity and challenge to face unknown symptoms and care for their child. Parents can have both science and knowledge on their side with a comprehensive care plan that incorporates everything genetic science can tell them about their little one.
By understanding your child’s genetics, you’re equipped to address their risk of genetic disease proactively, rather than reactively, transforming the fear of the unknown into the strength of being an informed, proactive parent.
Your child’s genetic health is unique
Your child's DNA is responsible for their unique and amazing traits. The underlying knowledge of their current and future health is equally empowering for parents.
Personalize every step of your child's health journey with preventative genetic health screening.

Children's Genetic Health Screening
Fore Genomics' genetic health screen is an extension of the preventative pediatric health children receive at birth with Newborn Screening (NBS). Preventative health focuses on understanding health before symptoms and conditions occur. Sequence all of your child's 22,000 genes with this one-time test and be more prepared for every health event in their future. One test, one time, a lifetime of insight.
Children are born with a copy of their mom’s DNA and their father’s DNA and are susceptible to inherited genetic mutations and de novo genetic mutations, occurring during development. DNA is constant for life, so early knowledge is impactful and prepares families for health management. No amount of family health history tracking can compare to your child's full genome sequenced and screened for known pediatric health risks.
The most comprehensive genetic screening for children
What makes a children's genetic health screen comprehensive? A physician-approved 100% Whole Genome Sequenced (WGS) screen approved for clinical use with expert support from genetic counselors is the best screen for your child.
Currently at 500+ health conditions covered, significantly extending state-mandated newborn screening (~50 conditions) by over 10x.
Genetics allows more screening capability in health condition categories (e.g. neurological, metabolic and cardiovascular) and covers medication reactions.
A solution growing annually with science
$5B in annual research is focused on furthering innovation of preventative genetic health solutions.
Annually, Fore's genetic experts review the findings of annual research and adds up to 100 new children's genetic conditions to our screen.
