Inheritest® Carrier Screen
Everyone carries genetic mutations that have the potential to cause a disorder—even if there is no family history of the disorder. And sometimes, these genetic mutations are passed on to their children.
Carrier screening can be done at any time but is most useful before pregnancy or as early as possible during pregnancy. Early insight can help you better prepare for your family’s future.
