Genetic Access Initiative
Expanding access to whole genome sequencing for all children.
To ensure every child has a healthy start, we created the Genetic Access Initiative – a genetic screening program designed to expand access to whole genome sequencing for children under 18 years of age who face cost barriers.
- Pediatrician-founded
- Family-trusted
- Tax deductible
- HIPAA compliant
- In partnership with Global Genes
GeneSprout is here to help take the guesswork out of children's health.
GeneSprout's mission is to make genetic sequencing accessible to all children, enabling earlier diagnoses and more timely treatments and interventions. However, as with many innovative medical advances, cost remains a significant barrier for far too many families.
The Genetic Access Initiative addresses this challenge by breaking down financial barriers and expanding access to pediatric genetic sequencing for families facing unmet access needs, advancing health equity and improving outcomes for children everywhere.
What GeneSprout Provides
-
Non-invasive testing and easy to understand results with clear next steps.
-
Access to health navigators and genetic counseling if needed.
-
Ongoing monitoring and updates based on the latest science.
Who is eligible for support
-
A child under 18 years of age whose parent or guardian would like screening for a potential genetic condition.

Children with two or more unrelated symptoms or conditions, or a clinical concern or family history suggesting a genetic condition of childhood.
-
Unable to obtain genetic testing through current insurance.
In partnership with
Global Genes.
The Genetic Access Initiative was developed in collaboration with Global Genes, a leading rare disease nonprofit dedicated to eliminating the burdens and challenges of rare diseases for patients and families globally. Their involvement ensures that donations are managed responsibly and that the initiative connects families with the broader rare disease support community.
