Genetic Testing

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

Key Takeaways
  • Identifies whether you carry inherited genetic conditions.
  • Simple blood or saliva test for individuals or couples.
  • Informs family planning and IVF treatment options.

Genetic carrier screening is one of the most valuable tools for modern family planning. This test helps determine whether you or your partner carry inherited conditions that could be passed to your child.

Through a simple blood or saliva sample, we can screen for hundreds of genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, or spinal muscular atrophy.

If both partners are carriers of the same condition, your fertility specialist can discuss next steps, including IVF with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to select embryos that are free of that condition.

At RPSD, genetic testing empowers families to make informed, proactive choices for a healthy pregnancy and future.
