Comprehensive insights right from the start.
Whole Genome Sequencing uses a sample of cord blood to capture all 22,000 genes and analyze your newborn’s pristine DNA for potential disease-causing variants in the 2,500 genes with known associations to childhood onset conditions as well as variants associated with drug sensitivities.
Insights will allow your family to make proactive and informed health decisions rather than waiting on symptoms. Plus, once you sequence your newborn’s genome you can reanalyze it as many times as you wish using the same sample.
ViaCord's Whole Genome Sequencing
Genetic Study Results
A retrospective study published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) found 1 in 12 apparently healthy newborns who used ViaCord's Whole Genome Sequencing carried genetic findings that could impact their health from an early age. 47% of these findings were associated with health conditions that could benefit from early intervention and medical management.
