Full Description
How our genetic test can help
Carrier DNA Insight® is a comprehensive preconception and prenatal carrier screening test. Carrier DNA Insight® follows the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommendations, and screen patients for more than 120 recessive genetic diseases.
Carrier DNA Insight® provides physicians with information about the risks of inherited diseases of their patients’ future children.
Clinical Implementation for Patients
With Carrier DNA Insight®, patients can gain knowledge on their risks of passing inheritable genetic diseases to their children or future children. A more comprehensive assessment can be obtained if both parents are tested.
Who is this for?
Carrier DNA Insight® is for individuals who want to find out if they are at an increased risk of passing an inheritable disease to their children or future children. Individuals in certain ethnic groups or with a family history of genetic diseases may also benefit from carrier DNA Insight® testing.
