About this course

Carrier screening identifies individuals carrying recessive genes for diseases like cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia. Prenatal diagnosis uses techniques like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS) to analyze fetal DNA. PGT, performed on embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF), screens for chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases before implantation. Genetic testing empowers informed family planning decisions. Learn more about how genetic testing for reproductive health can improve your family's future. Explore our resources today!
