An estimated 30 million 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.
The most comprehensive genetic screening for children
Currently at 500+ health conditions covered, significantly extending the ~50 conditions from state-mandated newborn screening.
Genetics allows more screening capability in health condition categories (e.g. neurological, metabolic and cardiovascular) and covers medication reactions.
Learn What Genes Impact Medications
Our screening includes how your child’s body processes over 40 medications across 20 therapeutic areas. This information is valuable in avoiding adverse drug reactions, which account for a significant percentage of pediatric hospitalizations.
Pediatrician Partnership
We encourage the inclusion of your child's pediatrician througout the results process, fostering a collaborative approach to personalized care.
Membership With Annual Updates
Fore's genetic experts review the findings of annual research and adds up to 100 new children's genetic conditions to our screen. No extra screening needed, just reach out for re-analysis.
Our Physician-Approved Process
Fore follows every necessary guideline to ensure that your child's genetic health screen is physician approved and your results are approved for clinical use with your pediatrician and providers.
How It Works
Step 1: Order Kit & Getting Started
When you’re ready to proceed, completing your purchase online is easy. We’ll then welcome you to our secure online portal, where you’ll provide information about your family and your child that can be reviewed by our doctors.
Step 2: Pre-test Counseling
After completing enrollment and approval by our doctors, you’ll be invited to set up a pre-test genetic consultation. This ensures you’re fully informed before proceeding.
Step 3: Providing a Sample
A sample collection kit will arrive in the mail, complete with simple instructions for a cheek swab. It’s quick, painless, and the only thing you’ll need to do. Return the kit to our lab using the provided mailer. Once your sample arrives, we’ll notify you that testing is underway. Our labs take 4-6 weeks once the sample is received to generate a clinical report.
Step 4: Reviewing your child’s genetic health report
After screening, you’ll receive a notification to schedule a results consultation with our genetic counselors. This is a chance to understand your child’s report and ask any questions. We encourage involving your pediatrician or family doctor if you wish.
Step 5: Continued support and education for parents and physicians
After receiving your report, our support doesn’t end. Maintain access to our secure online portal and receive on-going education about health conditions relevant to your child and family.
