Genetic testing may be an important next step
Based on your answers, genetic testing may help identify the underlying cause of your/your loved one’s symptoms or condition.
Some conditions—especially those that begin in childhood or involve the brain, development, or multiple body systems—can have a genetic cause. Identifying a genetic cause can help clarify a diagnosis, guide care decisions, and connect individuals and families with relevant resources or support.
What is exome or genome testing?
Exome and genome testing are advanced genetic tests that look at over 20,000 genes at once to identify potential causes of medical conditions. These tests are commonly used when a genetic condition is suspected but the cause is unknown.
For more than 25 years, GeneDx has worked with genetic specialists to help uncover the genetic causes of rare diseases. In that time, we’ve performed more than 2.5 million tests and have become the #1 genetic testing brand among pediatric and genetic physicians 1. Now families can work with a virtual provider who can review your/your loved one’s symptoms and history, help coordinate GeneDx testing, and support you through results and next steps.
