Newborn and Infant Genetic Screening

The first months of a child’s life often bring a strong desire to understand as much as possible about their health.

For parents who want selected genetic information beyond routine screening, private newborn genetic screening tests can provide a broader view from as early as 24 hours after birth.
Oreana checks 142 genes linked to 106 selected conditions affecting newborns, babies and young children, including metabolic, hormone, blood, hearing, immune, lung, muscle and bone conditions.
A parent or guardian can collect the specialised buccal cheek swab gently at home. Oreana is designed to add to NHS newborn screening and routine care rather than replace them, giving you a private report to discuss with your child’s healthcare professional.

Key information about Oreana

Available from 24 hours after birth to early childhood
Checks 142 genes linked to 106 selected conditions
Uses a buccal cheek swab collected by a parent or guardian at home
Provides a detailed laboratory report
Rather than focusing on one area, Oreana covers selected metabolic, hormone, blood, hearing, immune, lung, muscle and bone conditions.
When you open Oreana, you can review the complete list of conditions and see exactly what is included before ordering.

How Oreana complements routine newborn care

It helps to think of Oreana and NHS newborn screening as two different, complementary routes. They use different methods and cover different sets of conditions: Oreana provides a wider private DNA panel, while routine newborn screening follows its own defined national programme. One does not replace the other.
For that reason, continue with every routine newborn appointment, examination, hearing check and screening test offered to your baby. If your baby is unwell, seek medical help rather than waiting for a private result.

What an Oreana result can add

If Oreana identifies a relevant finding, it can provide early genetic information. Your child’s healthcare professional can then consider whether blood, urine, hearing, imaging or more focused genetic tests may be helpful.

However, the meaning of a finding depends on your child’s age, health, development, family history and other results. If your baby has breathing or feeding difficulty, repeated vomiting, unusual sleepiness, a seizure or another urgent concern, seek prompt medical help.

We always recommend that results are discussed with your Healthcare Professional.
