Upgraded CGT: Carrier Genetic Test

Understand your genetic risk before pregnancy

Most people are healthy carriers of genetic conditions without knowing it. This test helps identify risks early and supports informed reproductive decisions.

Overview

What are genetic diseases?

Genetic diseases are caused by mutations (changes to our genes).
Mutations can be present in DNA without affecting the individual, thus that individual would be a carrier of the condition.
82% of individuals are carriers of at least one condition.

What is the Upgraded Carrier Genetic Test?

Upgraded CGT is a useful genetic test when planning a family, because it helps to determine the risk of having a child with a genetic disease.
Upgraded CGT determines whether you and your partner or donor are carriers of single-gene recessive conditions. If both carry a genetic variant in the same gene, the probability of having an affected child is 25%
