Carrier Screening 787 and 3000 screening panels are the gold standard for pregnancy planning in Europe and the USA

To: married couples planning pregnancy or up to 10 weeks of pregnancy (regardless of age) A healthy child is a conscious choice, not hoping for a miracle

Goal: reducing the risk of genetic pathology in future children

Why: 95% of genetically ill children are born into healthy families. The risk of giving birth to a child with developmental disabilities is 3-5% (WHO). Of them, 2/3 of the cases are due to the carrier of a hidden pathology that can be effectively prevented. Each person is a hidden carrier of mutated genes that do not affect their health. However, in combination with the partner's mutations, the risk of having a child suffering from a genetic disease is 25%. This is how cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, deafness, immunodeficiencies, heart defects, epilepsy, metabolic disorders are inherited... 1 in 15 married couples without a genetically burdened family history have potentially unfavorable combinations.

How: the examination can be performed on a couple, or you can start with an examination of a woman. Examination of a man should be carried out in case of detection of mutations in a woman

Risks: in the case of detection of a potentially unfavorable combination, a married couple can accept the risk, planning a natural pregnancy, taking into account the need for prenatal diagnosis in the early stages of pregnancy (9-10 weeks). Or bypass the risk by planning to achieve pregnancy through DRT with the use of embryo diagnostic technologies in order to achieve a healthy pregnancy.

Diagnosis options:
- 787 of the most common genes with hidden inheritance
- 3000 genes with a hidden nature of inheritance
(if desired, it can be supplemented with blocks: cancer risks + pharmacogenetics; sensitivity to ovulation stimulation drugs; genes for placental dysfunction; genes for the block of egg maturation and embryo development, etc.)

Where to start: contact the administrators of the Genetic Center and arrange a visit to the clinic or remote referral of biological material
