Family & Carrier Genetic Screening
Understanding your genetic health can help families make informed decisions about future health and family planning. Family & Carrier Genetic Screening is designed to identify selected inherited genetic conditions and carrier status that may be relevant to individuals or families with a history of genetic disorders.
Who Can Consider Genetic Screening?
Carrier screening may be considered by individuals or couples who want to understand whether they carry certain inherited conditions. Family genetic screening can also be useful when there is a known genetic disorder, unexplained medical condition, or history of an inherited disease in the family.
What Does the Screening Help With?
Depending on the test selected, genetic screening may help identify specific genetic variants associated with inherited conditions or determine whether an individual is a carrier. Results can support informed discussions with a qualified healthcare professional or genetic counsellor about appropriate next steps.
