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%.
