    Horizon Carrier Genetic Screening Test

    £350.00 – £550.00

    Horizon Carrier Genetic Screening Test

    A blood test to identify carriers of autosomal recessive genetic conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis, Fragile-X, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

    Is carrier genetic screening right for me?

    Most people do not know they are a carrier for an inherited genetic condition until they have a child with the condition. Everyone can be a carrier of a genetic condition regardless of ethnicity, family background, or family history.

    Genetic carrier screening can help you and your partner learn if you are at risk of passing on a genetic condition to your child. With Horizon carrier screening, you screen for one or more genetic conditions with one simple test. Before undergoing carrier screening, it may be helpful to learn more about genetics and inheritance of genetic conditions.

    What is carrier screening?

    All of us are carriers of at least one genetic condition. Most carriers are healthy with no family history, but they are at risk of passing on a genetic condition to their child. Carrier screening is a genetic test that identifies if you carry a gene with a change, or variant, that can impact your child. When performed before conceiving, genetic carrier screening can provide actionable knowledge and the opportunity to pursue alternative reproductive options. Carrier screening during pregnancy can help couples decide on prenatal or infant diagnostic testing, and if necessary, help them prepare emotionally, medically, and financially for a baby affected by a genetic condition.

    Understanding what carrier screening is and how it works can help determine whether it is appropriate for you and your partner.

    Everyone has two copies of 23 chromosomes — one set from your mother and one from your father for a total of 46. However, sometimes these genes can be abnormal. If you have one normal chromosome and a mutated counterpart, you are considered a “carrier.” If two carriers with the same mutation have a baby, they may pass on a genetic disorder. These types of disorders are called recessive conditions. A carrier screening panel can reveal if you and/or your partner are carriers of the same recessive disease traits.

    The Horizon Test checks for up to 274 recessive and X-linked conditions that you could unknowingly pass on to a baby.
