FERTIFATE CARRIER.
Genetic assessment of the most important hereditary diseases for an even safer pregnancy.
Are you a carrier of a hereditary disease?
Carrier screening allows you to check whether you are a carrier of certain hereditary diseases. Cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy and fragile X syndrome are the most common in Europe.
With FERTIFATE CARRIER we offer you a screening for these three conditions. This can considerably reduce the risk of unknowingly giving birth to a child affected by one of these diseases.
Benefits
The FERTIFATE CARRIER screening detects the most important genetic variants for carrier status of the three most common hereditary diseases – cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy and fragile X syndrome. This test considerably reduces the risk of giving birth to an affected child.
Indication
We recommend genetic carrier testing for these three conditions to all couples wishing to have children who want to keep the risk of giving birth to an affected child as low as possible.
Where there is a particular need, the core screening can also be extended. We likewise offer various options for couples who already have an affected child or who know that they are carriers of a specific hereditary disease. You can discuss the options individually with our medical team on site.
