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%.

CGT is based on next generation sequencing (NGS) and it’s clinically validated

Is CGT for you?

CGT is recommended if:

You want to know the risk of transmitting possible disorders to your future children, regardless of your reproductive plans.
You’re going to start assisted reproduction treatment.
You’re staring a treatment involving a sperm or egg donor.

How does it work?

PGT-M

(Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic disorders)

PGT-M helps couples with a risk of transmitting a genetic disease. This genetic test Prevents the transmission of inherited disorders to future children and achieve a healthy pregnancy.

NACE

Non invasive prenatal test

Nace detects abnormalities such as Down’s Syndrome with a simple maternal
blood test. It is performed on any pregnant woman to determine the number of
chromosomes in the baby, without compromising the fetus or the mother.
