GeneScreen Complete test + NGS matching test
The GeneScreen Complete test is a genetic disease carrier evaluation test that enables a woman and her partner to determine whether they are carriers of an autosomal recessive or X-linked disease.
Such gene mutations can cause 2,100 different genetic diseases in their shared children, which cannot be detected by prenatal ultrasound or in the immediate post-natal period, as most of them manifest only in the first years of the child's life.
It is recommended that both prospective parents undergo the GeneScreen Complete test before planning a pregnancy, as it allows assessment of hereditary disease risks and, if necessary, reduction of associated risks. However, the test can also be performed during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, performing the test requires venous blood samples from both the mother and the father. It is recommended to perform the test from 8 full weeks (8 weeks + 0 days). If you would like to know the duration of your pregnancy, please visit our pregnancy calendar.
It is not possible to find out the sex of the fetus with the test.
The test results are received within 35 working days of the blood test.
The price of the test includes pregnancy detection and viability assessment. Additionally, it covers a pre-test consultation that offers a detailed overview of the test's purpose, reliability, error rate, and alternative methods of testing.
