Life Carrier Screen
Understanding what’s in your genes can help you make more informed choices for a healthy pregnancy and happy baby.
While most babies are born healthy, with every pregnancy there is a small chance of having a baby with a health condition. Life Comprehensive Carrier Screen genetic tests cut through the uncertainty.
The Life Comprehensive Carrier Screen is appropriate for those of all ethnicities who want an expanded assessment of their risk of having an affected child.
This panel includes:
- all disorders recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG)
- an extended list of disorders recommended by national Jewish societies
- disorders that may have a severe presentation
- a selection of disorders found on the newborn screen
- several X-linked disorders, including fragile X syndrome
Life Carrier Screen test is performed starting from a buccal swab, from which DNA is extracted. Our expert laboratory technicians analyze 302 genes from both parents that are responsible for more than 280 conditions, using the advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology.
Recommended for individuals that are planning family and want everything to go right!
Comprehensive
It detects 280+ conditions to give more comprehensive insight into the possibility of passing the mutations from your genes to your baby thus influencing its health.
Advanced

Keeping your baby healthy is in your genes
In relationships, it’s great to have things in common. But when it comes to your genes, sometimes differences are a good thing.
Most of us are “carriers” of hidden DNA changes that don’t affect our own health. But if you and your partner are both carriers of the same condition, your future child could be at risk.
