Children's Genetics

Transforming Care through Genetics

Children's genes affect their health. If your child has an inherited condition, genetic testing can help. A simple genetics test can reveal the genetic factors behind the disorder and gives you and your doctor insight into the complexities of inherited conditions. A test shows your care team which treatment options would work best for your child's genetic makeup.

For physicians: Refer a patient to Sanford Health.
