Carrier Screening
Most people do not know they are a carrier for an inherited genetic disease until they have a child with the disease.
Individuals or couples planning a pregnancy
Saliva: ≥2ml
Peripheral blood: ≥5ml
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
The BGI VISTA™ Carrier Screening detects over 9,000 mutations across 147 genes, for more than 150 genetic disorders
and offers one of the most comprehensive, accurate, and affordable pre-pregnancy screening tests on the market.
BGI VISTA™ Carrier Screening can be ordered before
or during pregnancy and is ideally suited for couples
who want to learn about their genetic status so that
they can make more informed reproductive
decisions.
Test from just peripheral blood or saliva
Screen for multiple diseases with high accuracy
Comprehensive or targeted panel options available
Consanguinity: when a couple's parents are closely related, they may have a higher chance of being carriers of the same genetic disorder and an increased risk of passing on the genetic disorder to their children.
People with a family history of a genetic disease or from an ethnic background known to be at risk for certain genetic diseases and who are therefore at higher risk of being carriers for those diseases
Couples who are already pregnant and who wish to know more about the genetic health of their pregnancy
Turnaround times for specific tests vary as per the table below. TATs are calculated from the time the sample is received and accepted at the laboratory.
