1 in 550 Pregnancy is affected by one of the diseases in the GeneScreen® panel.
The GeneScreen® test screens for the most clinically relevant and influential genetic conditions that typically affect health during infancy or childhood. The disorders included in the GeneScreen® test panels have been carefully selected for pre-pregnancy and prenatal carrier testing.
Established according to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), ESHG, ACMG guidelines and recommendations, it recommends that reproductive-age couples be screened for carriers before conception.
The GeneScreen® Carrier Panel is designed for patients who meet any of the following criteria:
- People with a family history of genetic diseases and therefore at higher risk of being carriers for these diseases
- Persons of certain ethnicities at high risk of being carriers of inherited recessive disorders
- For patients who follow pregnancy with assisted reproductive technologies
- Couples who are planning to start or expand a family and want to know if they are carriers of monogenic recessive diseases that can be passed on to their children
- Couples requiring gamete donation to select the most suitable donor and minimize reproductive risk
- Anyone who wants to find out if any of the disorders on the panel are carriers.
- Couples who are pregnant and want more information
