CGT: Carrier Genetic Test

Genetic disorders can’t be cured, but they can be prevented

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 Carrier Genetic Test (CGT)?

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