Why is reproductive genetic testing so important?
Reproductive genetic testing helps identify genetic disorders or conditions that may be passed on to your future children. Our genetic testing gives you this information, so you know – even before you conceive – what your risk is of having a child with a genetic disorder, and if your own genetic profile is affecting you falling pregnant or carrying a baby to full term. Our testing is for everyone looking to start a family – whether that’s today, or in years to come. The early detection of reproductive genetic risks is critical – reducing the risk of passing on genetic diseases to your future children. One in every six couples struggle with fertility issues in South Africa. We are here to support your journey with our professional and reliable service.
Our specialised testing portfolio includes proactive carrier screening before you start a family, as well as specific testing if you’re struggling to conceive, like PGT-A, PGT-M, POC and Endometrial Receptivity Testing (ER-T).
Every test has an impact – shaping not just the present, but future generations to come.
