We come to you. A simple blood sample, done in minutes.
Coverage across every body system — not blood alone.
No cryptic report — a clear session and clear options.
The national premarital screen looks at two inherited blood disorders.
Two healthy people can each silently carry the same recessive gene without knowing. When they do, every pregnancy has a 1-in-4 chance of passing the disorder on. NAWA screens both of you for 4,000+ inherited conditions in a single visit — so you find out before, not after.
Body systems we screen
One simple blood sample screens for thousands of inherited conditions across every major body system — an additional layer on top of the national premarital programme.
Examples of severe inherited conditions NAWA can flag before pregnancy.
- Duchenne muscular dystrophyProgressive muscle loss in boys
- Cystic fibrosisLung and pancreas damage from birth
- Tay-Sachs diseaseFatal in early childhood
- Hereditary breast & ovarian cancer (BRCA1/2)Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathySudden cardiac risk in young adults
- Methylmalonic acidemiaLife-threatening metabolic crises
- Lynch syndromeHereditary colon and other cancers
Familiar conditions — most are manageable when caught early.
- Sickle cell anemiaCommon in Saudi Arabia — manageable
- Beta-thalassemiaCommon in Saudi Arabia — treatable
- G6PD deficiencyFava-bean sensitivity
- Phenylketonuria (PKU)Well-managed by early diet
- Familial hypercholesterolemiaHigh cholesterol from birth — treatable
- HemophiliaBleeding disorder — modern treatment
- Marfan syndromeTall build with heart-valve risk
- Polycystic kidney diseasePolycystic kidneys — followed lifelong
A small sample of well-known inherited conditions the NAWA whole exome test can screen for — alongside thousands more.
The national screen covers two blood disorders. NAWA adds 4,000+ inherited conditions.

Test both of you. Get one direct answer.
Two individual tests = 7,600 SAR. Couple = 7,600 SAR + joint report, counseling, follow-up, and clinician line.
Couple package — both of you, tested together
To see what your children could inherit, both partners are tested and compared gene by gene. This package does exactly that — testing, one joint report, and a genetic counselor who walks you through the result.
- Both partners tested — comprehensive carrier panel
- Joint compatibility report (shared-risk analysis)
- 45-minute bilingual genetic counseling session
- Family-planning guidance
- Priority scheduling for both partners
- Direct clinician WhatsApp line
- 2-week follow-up session after results
- Discreet at-home sample collection (optional) — a simple blood sample from the inner side of the elbow

Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is also available on request — covering the full genome, including non-coding and structural regions beyond the exome. Contact us for pricing.
What the test can tell you — and what it can't
Carrier status for recessive and X-linked conditions, then your shared reproductive risk as a couple — not a compatible/incompatible verdict.
Exome sequencing does not detect every genetic change. Some conditions need dedicated assays; the limitations are explained before your sample is taken.
Licensed physicians review the file, and a genetic counselor explains what the result means and what your options are.
Genetic and health data are processed under the Saudi PDPL, and results are shared only with you.
