Newborn Genetic Screening
Newborn genetic screening is a unique process, separate from banking your baby’s cord blood. The process provides valuable information to parents by determining the risk your baby is at for a metabolic or other inherited disorder. These disorders can include flaws in body chemistry that can place newborns at risk for serious health complications.
Only ViaCord offers expecting families the added protection of newborn genetic screening with HealthCheck | NB– a service that can detect more than 50 disorders in newborns. This unique screening gives you the opportunity to protect your baby from the preventable complications of undiagnosed disorders. Many of these disorders are manageable if treatment begins early.
