Carrier Screening - cgt sync
Gamete donors are extensively screened for hundreds of genetic conditions. If you have selected a donor who is a carrier of one or more conditions, you may wish to know whether you are a carrier of the same condition(s). Carrier Genetic Testing (CGT) SYNC is able to answer this question by providing an in-depth analysis of the relevant gene(s) in you.

<p>If you and the donor are carriers of the same condition, there would be a 1 in 4 (25%) chance that a child would be affected with the condition, if you choose to proceed with that particular donor. For this reason, you may opt to select an alternative donor. There may be other options depending on the available services and policies of your clinic, and your genetic counsellor can discuss these with you.</p>
