Why genetic testing is helpful for children with autism

“Genetic testing could show you the genetic cause of you or your child’s autism and reveal any genetic mutations that might be linked to serious co-occurring conditions like epilepsy. Genetic testing can give doctors useful information so they can provide better, more personalized interventions.” - Autism Speaks

The science behind autism and genetics

A majority (around 80%) of autism cases can be linked to inherited genetic mutations. ¹
An estimated 200 - 1,000 genes impact autism susceptibility. ¹
“We’ve successfully identified genetic causes of autism. We're now moving into a new phase where we're using the genetic information to develop therapeutics.” - Dr. Daniel Geschwind, UCLA

What families tell us

“After I received my results from Probably Genetic, my doctor suddenly began running all sorts of tests, asking all kinds of questions, things I had told him but he never heard. So THANK YOU. It led to breakthroughs and actions from my doctors that would have never happened without you.”

“We've been searching for answers for over a decade and I'd almost given up. I'm so grateful that Probably Genetic has taken it upon themselves to make this kind of potentially life-altering testing accessible to families like mine.”
