A genetic screening test performed to identify inherited / genetic disorders in newborns and children
- Identifies genetic, metabolic, hormonal, and functional disorders
- Facilitates timely intervention to prevent severe health complications / death
Why is DGx Pediatric Screening test needed?
4 million children are born with some genetic abnormality
Validated

Affordable
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) due to metabolic disorders CAN BE TREATED (Van Rijt et al)3
