          CGT: Carrier Genetic Test

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

          • Overview
          • Features
          • How does it Work?
          • I’m a health specialist

          82% of individuals
           are carriers of at least one condition

          Every person
          has an average of 2 genetic mutations

          5% of couples
          carry the same mutation

          Inherited disorders represent
          20% of the causes of infant mortality in developed countries

          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 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%.
