Carrier Screening is an important tool for prospective parents to help them determine their risk of having a child affected with an inheritable disease. However, in many cases, parents are not aware that they are carriers and have no family history due to the rarity of some diseases in the general population.

The Carrier Screen detects over 9,000 mutations across 148 genes for more than 150 genetic disorders and offers one of the market’s most comprehensive, accurate, and affordable pre-pregnancy screening tests.
