About Long Genetics
Ending diagnostic odysseys through evidence-based genetic evaluation.
Our Mission
Rare diseases are not rare in aggregate. Collectively they affect roughly 30 million Americans and cost the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $1 trillion annually. The paradox is that while each individual condition is uncommon, the systemic burden is enormous.
The current care model for rare disease patients is defined by diagnostic odysseys averaging 5–7 years and 7+ specialists before a molecular diagnosis is reached. Patients are subjected to years of redundant imaging, empiric therapies, exploratory surgeries, and revolving-door specialist referrals that yield no diagnosis.
Long Genetics exists to change this. We believe that a single, well-directed genetic test can collapse years of downstream uncertainty into a definitive answer—giving patients clarity, giving providers direction, and giving the entire care team a foundation for targeted treatment.
Our Approach
Three pillars guide everything we do.
Evidence-Based Testing
Our practice is built on published diagnostic yield data across 20 organ systems, supported by 80+ peer-reviewed references. We select tests based on evidence, not intuition, ensuring the highest probability of a definitive result.
CarePathways Model
Every patient moves through a structured diagnostic episode—from referral to genetic counseling to testing to results and follow-up. This bundled approach ensures nothing falls through the cracks and every evaluation is thorough.
Patient-Centered Care
Genetic counseling is integrated into every evaluation. We take the time to explain what testing means, what results indicate, and what options are available—ensuring patients and families feel informed and supported at every step.
Philosophy of Care
We believe genetic testing is not a standalone event but the beginning of a care journey. A molecular diagnosis opens doors: to targeted therapies, to accurate prognoses, to reproductive planning, to family screening, and most importantly, to an end of uncertainty.
Our practice is designed around diagnostic resolution. We don't just order tests—we guide patients through the entire process, interpret results in clinical context, coordinate with their existing care team, and ensure that every diagnosis translates into actionable next steps.
For families who have spent years searching for answers, we offer something simple but powerful: a clear, evidence-based path to finding out.
