For Pediatric Neurologists

Precise genetic answers for pediatric neurologists to move diagnosis and care forward

Why test?

Actionable results, supported every step of the way


  • Comprehensive testing that can identify ~5000 genetic conditions, providing precise answers, and shortening the path to diagnosis1
  • Fast results – within days or weeks – to prevent delays in care
  • Simple-to-interpret reports support clinicians to make accurate diagnoses and provide guidance on treatments or medical management
  • Dedicated team of >150 genetic counselors2 can help interpret findings, explain them, and connect families with resources, support groups, or specialist referrals

Trusted answers clinicians rely on for better care


  • #1 genetic testing brand for diagnosing pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders,3 with GeneDx Infinity™ drawing on insights from >2.5 million tests4
  • Recommended or endorsed by leading medical societies as a first-line test, including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP),5 American College of Medical Genetics & Genomics (ACMG),6 the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC), and the American Epilepsy Society (AES)7

Easy to order, easy to access

Doctor orders your test


  • Streamlined ordering across test types, designed to fit a range of clinical workflows including Epic Aura
  • Clear, transparent billing designed to reduce surprises and administrative friction
  • Broad patient access and in-network coverage,8 helping more patients get the testing they need
  • Epilepsy Partnership Program helps ensure access to recommended exome testing for eligible children with epilepsy

What the evidence says about genetic diagnosis

Nearly 1 in 26 children is affected by a genetic condition,9 underscoring the importance of genetic testing in pediatrics The majority, ~85%, of known disease-related variants are found within the exome,10 making exome testing a powerful diagnostic tool.

Cerebral Palsy


In up to 1 in 3 patients with CP, a genetic condition is identified as the cause.

For pediatric patients,  exome sequencing delivered 35% diagnostic yield, rising to 38% for those with co-occurring NDDs.11, 12, 13

Autism


Autism spectrum disorder has been associated with over 800 genes and dozens of genetic syndromes.14

Epilepsy


For patients with epilepsy, genetic testing can change medical management, in as many as 8 out of 10 cases.15

Developmental Delay / Intellectual Disability

GDD/ID


For individuals with intellectual disability, exome sequencing delivers answers in more than 1 out of 3 cases (34%).16

Powered by the largest rare disease dataset

Our unmatched dataset fuels deeper insights and enables more accurate diagnoses combined with AI and clinical expertise. It draws on 2.5+ million genetic tests,4 nearly 1 million exomes and genomes,18 and 7 million phenotypic data points,19 GeneDx Infinity grows every day, fueling the discovery of new treatments and enabling precision medicine.

Case Study

Why putting exome testing first matters

William’s early motor delays, speech challenges, and evolving symptoms were not genetically evaluated until years later. Earlier exome sequencing could have delivered answers within weeks instead of after seven years and the onset of seizures.

The cost of delayed genetic testing

Claire developed seizures in infancy alongside developmental delay. Ordering exome sequencing as a first-line test could have provided answers within weeks—rather than nearly two years.
