Reports for conditions and medication response provided by licensed genetic counselors
The future of healthcare starts here.
Knowing what’s right for your family can be challenging – and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re flooded with information. Fore gives you a science-backed starting point – no appointments, no doctors visits, and no tears required.
Our at-home genetic health screen helps you understand your child’s unique blueprint by analyzing their DNA for insights related to manageable health risks and how they may respond to certain medications. Fore gives you access to information about your child's health so you can stay one step ahead
What’s included in the kit
What is genetic screening?
Genetic screening looks at DNA for changes that may increase risk for certain health conditions. In children, the value is often in identifying conditions where early detection can lead to earlier treatment, prevention, or monitoring.
While the average time to receive a rare disease diagnosis is 5+ years*, Fore empowers you to identify risks before symptoms even appear.
*National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) reports an average of 5+ years for a rare disease diagnosis. Learn more.
Treatable health risks before symptoms appears
Screening can identify genetic risks tied to conditions where earlier awareness can change the path—through monitoring, prevention, or earlier treatment.
Medication safety insights
Learn which medications may be more likely to cause side effects or not work as expected—so your child’s doctor can make more informed choices.
Insights that evolve over time
With annual reanalysis, your child’s DNA insights can be updated as new gene–condition links and clinical evidence emerge.
Personalized health guidance
Information that may support decisions about follow-up monitoring, nutrition conversations, or preventive care planning.
What is Pharmacogenomics (PGx)?
Pharmacogenomics looks at your child’s DNA to determine how they might respond to certain medications. This information can help doctors choose the medicine and dose that’s most likely to work best for your child and avoid ones that might cause side effects. This approach helps avoid trial and error and makes treatment more personal.
Pharmacogenomic testing can be especially helpful for medicines that many children and adults take, such as:
Pain medicines (like codeine, oxycodone, or even ibuprofen)
Mental health medicines (such as antidepressants or ADHD medications)
Heart medicines (like warfarin or certain beta blockers)
It can also make a big difference for less common treatments, such as certain cancer medicines, where not knowing a child’s genetic makeup could lead to serious or even life-threatening side effects.
At Fore, we include PGx testing as a “good-to-have” tool. Most of the time, you may not need it. But if your child ever does, having this information ready could mean safer, more effective treatment—and in some cases, it could even save their life.
A Solution for Adverse Drug Reactions
When should you screen your child?
The optimal window for screening is shortly after birth, but screening in later years can also be beneficial.
What is the difference?
With Fore Genomics
Fore provides access to health risk insights at home so you can take action for your child’s health ahead of symptoms.
Traditional newborn screening
Traditional newborn screening tests for only a small fraction of known genetic diseases, between 30-80 conditions depending on your state. Yet many additional conditions are treatable or manageable when identified early.
