Rapid Genetic Testing for Children

Redefining the Diagnosis of Childhood Diseases

At Rapid Genetic Testing, our multidisciplinary team of scientists and clinicians’ sequence over 20,000 genes, looking for the mutations that drive genetic diseases.  We screen for over 920 different genetic diseases (>99% of all known genetic diseases from the one sample).

 

Rapid Genetic Testing, unlike some other genetic companies, keep your sample and genetic code within Australia, meaning your information is protected by Australian law.  Some other overseas genetics companies also on sell your genetic code to pharmaceutical companies.

About Us

Diagnosis

Currently, it can take up to ten years for a proper diagnosis and even then, some patients are still left undiagnosed – leaving many feeling hopeless and powerless in overcoming their condition.

 

But there’s hope. Our rapid genetic testing can diagnose over 920 diseases within weeks instead of years, helping patients make significant strides in managing their specific medical condition.

 

 

Parents and Guardians

In Australia, up to 8% of children born have a genetic disease. On average it takes 6 years for diagnosis (kidsresearch.org.au) after the child first presents with initial symptoms - with 10% of children still undiagnosed at the age of 10 years of age. 

 

Some genetic diseases are very obvious from birth, while others remain hidden and can present later in childhood such as learning difficulties, failure to thrive, heart conditions, skin problems, certain blood conditions and immune problems to name a few. 

 

The Rapid Genetic Testing team can simultaneously screen for over 920 of the most common genetic diseases – making it the most reliable form of genetic testing on the market today.  

Medical

Rapid Genetic Testing is an Australian Based, Paediatric Genetics company that was established to provide rapid genetic testing of children who are believed to carry an unknown genetic disease. 

 

Using Artificial Intelligence in our bioinformatics pipeline, we can report on over 920 different genetic diseases from a blood spot (Guthrie Card), in a single tube. Once completed, we provide clinicians with relevant research papers for the diagnosed disease.

 

If you suspect your newborn baby or young children have an undiagnosed genetic disorder or disease, Rapid Genetic Testing is the key to an efficient diagnosis.
