Why You Should Get Your Newborn Tested

At birth, your baby’s DNA holds a complete record of their biological potential. This test translates that information into insight, helping you detect, prevent, and prepare for health conditions before they appear.

The Phenome Longevity Newborn Test screens for more than one thousand genes connected to growth, immunity, metabolism, and development. It identifies clinically relevant variants so you can take early action with your paediatrician or nutrition specialist.

This test complements traditional hospital screenings by offering a broader, more advanced analysis that covers metabolic disorders, immune regulation, and nutrient processing.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Why should I test my newborn if they seem healthy?

Many genetic conditions do not show symptoms immediately after birth. Early detection allows for monitoring, early treatment, and lifestyle adjustments that can significantly improve long term outcomes.

When is the best time to take the test?

The test can be done shortly after birth, ideally within the first few weeks of life. This ensures that any actionable findings can be addressed as early as possible.

How is the sample collected?

A gentle saliva sample is used. The process is completely non-invasive and safe for newborns. Detailed instructions are included in the kit.

What conditions are covered?

The report includes analysis of over one thousand genes associated with inherited, metabolic, neurological, and developmental conditions that may affect infants and young children.

How accurate are the results?

Results are generated using whole genome sequencing technology with high depth and precision. Every finding is reviewed and validated by certified genetic experts before the report is finalised.

What happens if a variant is found?

If a clinically relevant variant is detected, a genetic counselling session is recommended. A specialist will explain what the result means, outline next steps, and provide guidance for any necessary follow up care.

Where can I see the results?
