Whole Genome Sequencing
From Day One
PrecisoCare® delivers a complete whole genome sequencing program for newborns — a comprehensive blueprint of your child's DNA that supports early intervention, screening, prevention, and family planning throughout life.
Detect what standard screening misses
Standard newborn screening tests for a limited number of conditions. Whole genome sequencing goes further — identifying thousands of actionable genetic variants from a single sample, giving care teams the information they need to intervene before symptoms appear.
Earlier diagnosis, better outcomes
Genomic findings at birth create a longitudinal health record that informs care decisions across the entire patient lifespan.
Actionable from day one
Provider-ready reports structured for immediate clinical decision-making — not raw data requiring interpretation from scratch.
Family planning support
Genomic findings inform family planning discussions, carrier status, and hereditary risk for future siblings and extended family.
Collected wherever your patient is
PrecisoCare® newborn samples are collected using a simple, minimally invasive heel stick — no specialized equipment required. Collection can happen in three settings.
Hospital Nursery
Collected at birth during routine newborn care. Integrates into existing nursery workflows with no disruption to standard protocols.
NICU
For critically ill newborns requiring urgent genomic evaluation. Our NICU hotline provides direct clinical support for time-sensitive cases.
Pediatrician's Office
Collected at a well-baby visit shortly after discharge. The kit ships directly to the provider's office with everything needed for collection and return.
What is newborn screening — and why add WGS?
Every state mandates a newborn blood spot screening panel at birth. These panels test for a defined set of metabolic and genetic conditions — typically 30 to 60 disorders depending on the state.
Whole genome sequencing complements state screening by examining the entire genome — over 20,000 genes — in a single test. Conditions missed by the state panel due to panel limitations, borderline results, or rare variants are identified through WGS, giving families and providers a complete picture from the start.
Extends state panel coverage
WGS evaluates thousands of conditions beyond what state-mandated panels screen for.
One sample, lifelong record
A single heel stick at birth creates a genomic blueprint that informs care decisions for decades.
Healthy newborn baseline
Even healthy newborns benefit — establishing a genomic baseline for preventive care, pharmacogenomics, and family planning.
When to order newborn WGS
PrecisoCare® newborn WGS is indicated across a range of clinical scenarios — from routine healthy newborn screening to urgent NICU evaluation.
Abnormal State Newborn Blood Spot Results
When state screening returns abnormal or borderline results, WGS provides definitive genomic clarification to guide clinical next steps.
Unexplained Critical Illness
Neonates presenting with unexplained deterioration, multi-organ involvement, or failure to thrive where a genetic etiology is suspected.
Suspected Metabolic or Mitochondrial Disease
Clinical presentation consistent with inborn errors of metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, or complex metabolic disorders requiring genomic evaluation.
Healthy Newborn Baseline Screening
Proactive genomic profiling for healthy newborns — establishing a lifelong blueprint for prevention, pharmacogenomics, and family planning.
NICU Clinical Hotline
Direct access for NICU teams managing time-sensitive genomic cases. Available 24/7 for urgent clinical support and expedited processing requests.
