Comprehensive Carrier Screening for Donor Recipients with Concept Fertility

Understand your and your donor’s genetic compatibility before growing your family.

All healthy individuals carry 2 - 5 changes in genes that could impact the health of their future children. Carrier screening is strongly recommended to anyone planning a pregnancy- including those using donor gametes.

Comprehensive carrier screening is an at-home test that looks at 780+ genes to see if you carry changes that could cause a serious inherited condition in a child, including Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Fragile X Syndrome, Tay-Sachs Disease, and Thalassemia.

This test is available to donor recipients at Concept Fertility Centre and includes:

• Your own carrier screening (via simple saliva kit and telehealth support)
  

• Comparison of your results with your donor’s results to identify any shared risks
  

• Personalised genetic counselling to help you understand your results and next steps
