We use an Invitae panel that includes up to 556 autosomal recessive and X-linked conditions, including Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Fragile X syndrome, Thalassemia, and Tay-Sachs disease. These conditions are serious, actionable and relevant for patients to know about.
When combined, the average risk of having a child with one of these conditions is higher than the risk of having a child with Down syndrome.
Conditions that impact a child’s life expectancy or development & have limited treatment — where the knowledge of your risk can give you options.
Our test includes many serious conditions that are more common in different ethnic communities and are often excluded in industry standard tests.
Everyone wants a healthy baby. Offering carrier screening to every patient, regardless of their ethnicity, age or family history, means better surveillance for more serious conditions. Knowing any risks in advance can help your patients make more informed reproductive choices; and if necessary, significantly reduce the risk of passing on a disease.
With both the RACGP and RANZCOG recommending that providers offer carrier screening to their patients who are family planning, the impetus to inform patients about carrier screening has never been greater.
