Carrier Screening With Getchecked
The earliest step to responsible family planning.
What Does Carrier Screening Find?
Most people can be carriers of a disease causing change without knowing it.
If both partners are carriers, they have a 25% risk of having an affected child with a recessive genetic disease and a 50% that the child will be a carrier like the parents. Getting tested early gives future parents the opportunity to make informed decisions and review the range of options available to guide pregnancy and family planning.Why Choose Getchecked
