The most complete premarital genetic test available in Saudi Arabia.
One simple blood sample. 20,000+ genes analyzed. 4,000+ inherited conditions screened. A couple-level compatibility report reviewed by 3 specialist physicians.
- Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
- Both partners tested together
- Physician-led bilingual counseling
- Results in 45–50 business days
Everything a comprehensive genetic screen should be.
Whole exome sequencing
Sequences all ~20,000 protein-coding genes — the regions where the vast majority of known disease-causing variants live.
4,000+ conditions
Blood, metabolic, neurological, cardiac, immune, skeletal, endocrine, vision, hearing, kidney, liver, muscular, and multisystem disorders.
Couple-level report
Not two separate reports — one joint compatibility report highlighting shared genes and shared risk.
3-physician review
Every variant is reviewed by three specialist physicians before your report is released — no unreviewed automated output.
45-min counseling
Bilingual (English + Arabic) session that walks through your results, your options, and any questions you have.
Follow-up support
Post-result WhatsApp support and referrals to reproductive medicine specialists when needed.
Comprehensive vs limited premarital screens.
Everything couples usually ask.
How is the comprehensive test different from the government premarital test?
The national premarital programme screens two inherited blood disorders (sickle cell and beta-thalassemia) plus infectious diseases. NAWA's comprehensive test adds whole exome sequencing across 20,000+ genes for 4,000+ inherited conditions in every major body system — cardiac, metabolic, neurological, immune, and more.
Do both partners need to test?
For a true compatibility report, yes. Most inherited conditions are recessive, meaning risk to a child only appears when both parents carry a variant in the same gene. Testing both partners together produces a joint report that identifies shared risk.
How long do results take?
45–50 business days from sample collection. This includes lab sequencing (whole exome), variant classification by clinical geneticists, and a bilingual specialist review.
Is the sample invasive?
No. A trained nurse visits your home and collects a simple blood sample from the inner elbow — the same as any routine blood test. No fasting required.
What happens after results?
You receive a plain-language couple-level report plus a 45-minute bilingual genetic counseling session with a specialist physician. Follow-up questions are always welcome.
Is my data confidential?
Yes. All results are strictly confidential and stored to Saudi data-protection standards. Results are shared only with the couple, and never with third parties without explicit written consent.
What if we find a shared risk?
You'll discuss all available options in counseling — reproductive planning, preimplantation testing (PGT-M), prenatal testing during pregnancy, or simply informed awareness. No option is pushed; the goal is clarity.
