What is Genetic Carrier Screening?
Genetic carrier screening is a specialized test designed to identify if an individual is a carrier for specific genetic disorders. This is crucial as carriers may not show symptoms but can still pass the disorder to their offspring.
Importance of Screening in Dubai
Due to Dubai’s diverse population and high rate of consanguineous marriages, genetic carrier screening is becoming increasingly important. Early screening can help predict potential genetic disorders in future generations and allow for informed family planning.
What is Horizon carrier screening?
It is common for people to be carriers of at least one genetic condition. Carriers are usually healthy; however, they risk passing on a genetic condition to their children. Horizon carrier screening is a type of genetic test that allows you to determine your risk for passing an inherited genetic condition onto your child. Horizon can be ordered before or during pregnancy and is often performed at a DNA test clinic, medical genetics center or other facility.
Is carrier screening right for me?
Most people do not know they are a carrier for an inherited genetic disease 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 performed at a DNA testing center or genetics center can help you and your partner learn if you are likely to pass a genetic condition to your child, before or even during pregnancy. With Horizon genetic carrier screening, you screen for one or many genetic diseases in one simple test. Before undergoing carrier screening, it may be helpful to learn more about genetics and inheritance of diseases.
