Severe symptoms or illness in newborns can be due to rare changes in the child’s genetic makeup which occur before they are born . These changes can produce complex, often life-threatening conditions affecting one or more regions of the body, such as skin, heart, lungs, muscle, bones, blood system or the body’s metabolism. The severity and outcome for the child can vary dramatically.
SZA Longevity Comprehensive Newborn Screening Test uses Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) which enables examination of the entire DNA sequence of the genome, both the coding and non-coding nuclear sequence as well as the mitochondrial sequence. WGS can evaluate SNVs, indels, non-coding regions, mitochondrial variants, all sizes of CNVs and structural rearrangements.
This test is not only for your baby’s early-onset conditions, but it also generates the whole genome data of him/her which can be used for further analysis to uncover adult-onset conditions. You will have the option to learn additional information including low or no actionability childhood-onset conditions, high actionability adult-onset conditions, and carrier status for recessive disorders.
If you need a basic analysis, covering the variants found only in the coding region of genes, you can check our Whole Exome sequencing based Basic Newborn Screening Test.
