Is this Newlife comprehensive test right for me?

Comprehensive Carrier Screening with Newlife IVF is a custom panel designed for recipients of donor gametes. The goal of carrier screening is to help you get a thorough understanding of the chance of having a child with a serious inherited genetic condition when using a particular donor.
It’s the best option for those who want to know their individual carrier status and want to do everything they can to understand the chance of passing on a genetic disease to their child.
There are many carrier screening panels available. This panel has been recommended for you by the Donor team at Newlife IVF as it most closely reflects the genes that your chosen donor was screened for.

What can I do with Newlife carrier test results?

Your carrier testing results help you understand your chance of having a child with a serious inherited genetic condition. Eugene works with the genetic counselling team at Newlife IVF to ensure you understand:

Whether or not your donor carries the same condition(s) as you and if you have an increased risk of having a child affected with a condition with your donor.
What genes you and your donor have been screened for.
What your options are depending on the above, including continuing with the selected donor or selecting a different donor.
If you and your chosen donor are carriers of the same condition, you may be advised to select a new donor to reduce this risk of having a child with a serious genetic condition.

What is the turnaround time for the Comprehensive test?

From the moment we receive your saliva sample, the turnaround time to get your results are ready within 4 weeks.

I don't have a family history of any of the conditions, is this still relevant for me?

80% of babies born with an inherited genetic condition had no family history of it. That’s why Eugene’s carrier screening is relevant when you are planning a pregnancy, regardless of your family background or history.

If you do have a personal or family history of a genetic condition it is important to inform Eugene and your fertility specialist as this may influence which test is recommended to you.

Can this test diagnose me with any of the conditions screened for?

This test is not meant to diagnose a person with any of the conditions screened for.
