We use Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on a next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform, reading ~20,000 protein-coding genes — the part of the genome where the vast majority of known disease-causing variants sit. Results are reviewed by 3 specialist physicians.
Yes. WGS is available on request for broader coverage, including non-coding and structural regions beyond the exome. It is priced separately from the standard premarital package — contact us for a quote.
A test that shows whether a person carries a genetic change in a gene that could cause a condition in their children if both partners carry the same change.
Conditions passed from parents to children through genes. Some are autosomal recessive and only appear when both partners are carriers.
A healthy person can be a silent carrier. If both partners carry the same variant, family-planning risk increases.
It combines both partners' results into a shared-risk picture instead of separate individual reports.
A clear explanation of results and support for informed decisions, without pressure.
It helps identify certain risks, but no test guarantees a healthy child or eliminates all risk.
