Carrier screening is an advanced genetic analysis designed to detect whether a person is a carrier of genetic mutations associated with one or more genetic disorders. It is important to know that being a carrier does not necessarily mean showing symptoms of the disorder. The test is performed with a simple blood draw, ensuring a safe and comfortable process for you.

1. Informed Reproductive Planning: This study is crucial for individuals and couples planning to have children. It provides a clear understanding of the risk of passing on genetic disorders to their children, allowing them to make conscious and well-informed decisions about their family planning.

2. Early Intervention: For many genetic disorders, detecting carrier status early can be crucial. This allows for timely interventions and treatments that can significantly improve the quality of life of affected children.

Our Carrier Screening includes, but is not limited to:

1. Cystic Fibrosis: An inherited disorder that impacts the lungs and digestive system.

2. Sickle Cell Anemia: A blood disorder that affects hemoglobin.

3. Tay-Sachs disease: A rare disorder of the nervous system.
