Carrier Testing

We offer a genetic compatibility study for couples who are planning to have offspring, to analyze their carrier status for certain recessive diseases. This study includes:

Simultaneous analysis of 1,500 genes associated with recessive inheritance and X-linked diseases, with a coverage -on-target- higher than 99%, through CLINICAL EXOMA.

What we offer at LabGenetics:

  • Fragile X syndrome: PCR-Screening of the CGG triplet expansion of the FMR1 gene.
  • Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA): MLPA analysis of the deletion of exons 7 and 8 of the SMN1 gene, including copy number of the SMN2 gene.
  • Friedreich’s Ataxia: GAA triplet expansion analysis of the FXN gene (FRDA), including TP-PCR.
  • Alpha-thalassemia: MLPA analysis of deletions/duplications in HBA1 and HBA2 genes.
  • Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Specific sequencing of CYP21A2 gene against its pseudogene and analysis of deletions/duplications by MLPA.
