WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A CHILD

With the Genescreen test, you can find out if you are carriers of genetic diseases, so as not to pass them on to your future children.

Some anomalies in the DNA sequence can make a person a carrier of a specific genetically transmitted disease.

Healthy carriers of genetic diseases are typically healthy individuals, without symptoms and unaware of the risk of transmitting their pathology to their children.

1 OUT OF 4

the child of two healthy carriers is born with a genetic disease.

If you are thinking about having a child, it is therefore important that you take a test to make sure you are not healthy carriers and to avoid putting your child’s health at risk.

Be aware and rely on us: for over 20 years, Eurofins Genoma has been by your side on this journey.

Our test to find out if you are carriers of genetic diseases is Genescreen®.

What is

Genescreen®?

Genescreen® is a test that allows you to find out, with one sample, if you are carriers of hereditary genetic conditions, from the rarest to the most frequent in the Italian population, such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, hereditary deafness, and more.

Genescreen® allows the couple to know, through a blood sample, if you are carriers of genetic diseases and if there is a risk of transmitting them to their children.

How is it done?

The Genescreen® test is performed with a simple blood sample.

Why is it important?

This type of test is highly recommended when planning to have children.

It is a useful test for all couples, regardless of their family history.

Genescreen® detects anomalies related to diseases for which future parents, even if carriers, are clinically asymptomatic and do not know they have a disease.

It is a complete and exhaustive test that can identify at-risk couples for over 5000 genetic diseases.
