    • We want to be parents, but before that, we would like to know

    if our child is at risk of inheriting a rare disease.

    GENES2LIFE

    When a  couple considers starting their own family, they often focus on factors such as the couple's health, baby care, and finances.
    Pregnancy finally occurs, and the couple wants nothing more than a healthy baby. At this point, however, it has already been determined which physical and genetic characteristics the baby will inherit; and the child will inherit not only the father's blue eyes and the mother's curly hair, it may also inherit one or more diseases. Some diseases can be treated medically, while others are rare diseases with no treatments. 
    Do you know if you and your partner are healthy
    and ready to start a new family?

    GENES2LIFE

    Genes2Life is a genetic test used prior to pregnancy to investigate whether there is a risk of having a child with an inherited genetic disease. Hereditary diseases are inherited through genetic material from one generation to another. In some cases, conditions can skip one generation and be inherited in the next - they are inherited as recessive conditions. Recessive inheritance means that a person can carry disease-related mutations without being aware of them.

    RECESSIVE GENETIC DISEASE

    Two copies of the same mutated gene, one in the woman and one in the man, cause the disease.

    GENETIC TESTING PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE

    Genetic testing plays an essential role in infertility treatments. One of the reasons why fertility treatments may fail is the presence of genetic mutations that can lead to repeat abortions and unsuccessful treatments.

     

    The selection of genes investigated in Genes2Life follows the criteria recommended by ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists):

     

    • Carrier probability: 1 in 100 couples is at risk
    • Characteristics and symptoms are related to a known disease
    • The disease has a detrimental effect on the quality of life
    • The disease may damage physical and mental ability
    • The disease requires surgical or medical intervention
    • It is an early-onset disease
    • The disease can be diagnosed prenatally
