CARRIER SCREENING DNA TEST

Carrier Screening DNA Test In Lagos, Nigeria

Carrier screening identifies whether you carry gene changes that could be passed on to your children. Most carriers are healthy themselves, but when both partners carry the same recessive condition, there can be a higher chance of an affected child.

Knowing your carrier status helps you and your partner make informed decisions about family planning with confidence.

KNOW YOUR CARRIER TEST

Find Out What Your Genes Could Pass On

Many genetic conditions are recessive, meaning a child is only affected if they inherit the gene from both parents. A carrier has one copy, stays healthy, and usually has no idea. When two carriers of the same condition have a child, that child can be affected. Carrier testing tells you your carrier status before or early in family planning.

A decision to make with care

Being a carrier does not mean you are ill or that your child will automatically be affected, it is information about probability, best understood as a couple and with our Genetic Counsellor who can explain your specific situation.

This test can help you:

  • Discover whether you carry a recessive genetic condition
  • Gain clarity when a scan or family history raises a concern
  • Make informed decisions with your obstetrician and a genetic specialist
  • Prepare emotionally, medically, and practically for your baby's needs
  • Replace anxious uncertainty with expert guidance.
