Does your child have an undiagnosed health issue?
If your child or infant has been diagnosed with a serious condition or is failing to thrive, and your pediatrician can’t tell you why, your child may have a rare disease.
Rare Diseases
-
Impact 1 in 10 people
-
Have >7,000 Genetic causes
-
Take 6 years on average to diagnose
There is a better way
Jura Health has teamed up with Broad Clinical Labs to provide rare disease testing and next steps in as little as 4 weeks at low or no cost to you.
How it works
-
Submit an information request form, and we’ll coordinate with your physician to order the test.
-
Collect your child's saliva sample from home
-
Your child's DNA is sequenced and you and your child's doctor receive a report in 4 weeks
-
Meet with a genetic counselor to discuss your child's results/next steps
FAQs
-
There is no co-pay or out-of-pocket cost to Colorado patients covered by Medicaid/Health First Colorado. For patients who are not covered by Medicaid, the out-of-pocket cost is $2,500 and is HSA/FSA eligible.

Most genetic tests are based on panels that include a few dozen to a few hundred possible genes. The Emerge test covers the whole genome to identify genetic variants known to cause over 7,000 rare diseases.

You own your data, all of it, exclusively. In the future, there may be additional questions about your genome (such as genetic carrier status or susceptibility to cancer or metabolic disease) that you can request through Jura Health without having to repeat sequencing.

Symptoms of rare diseases vary widely but can include developmental delays (missing milestones such as grasping for objects, rolling over, babbling, walking, or talking), intellectual disabilities, birth defects (such as cleft palate or heart defects), seizures, growth delays, decreased or excessive muscle tone, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, hearing or vision problems, muscle control issues, or failure to thrive.

Your genetic data will be cross-analyzed along with your symptoms using industry-leading artificial intelligence. The report comes from clinical scientist at The Broad Institute. See a sample report here.

We’re scientists and physicians who were fed up with seeing patients overpaying or denied access to genetic test that delivered limited results. Our mission is to make genomic testing universally accessible and shorten time to diagnosis and treatment from years to days.
