What is genetic testing?

At its simplest, genetic testing looks at your child's genetic information (DNA) to help answer questions about their health, like why certain symptoms are happening, whether a condition is present, and what it might mean for their care.

Genome sequencing is a type of genetic test that looks at nearly all of someone's DNA at once.

What you should know about genetic testing

What are the steps to genome sequencing?

The genome sequencing testing process consists of four steps. This portal will help you navigate each step.

STEP 1
Learn
Learn about genome sequencing, decide if you want to move forward with testing, and review your testing options.
STEP 2
Consent
Provide consent for testing through your account, with personalized options for your family's genome sequencing.
STEP 3
Testing
After consent, samples are collected from your family for testing. The samples are sent to the lab for genome sequencing.
STEP 4
Results
Results are ready in a few days or weeks. Your care team will walk you through what the findings mean.
