Comprehensive Carrier Screening is our most comprehensive and inclusive test for individuals and couples who want to get a thorough understanding of their risk of having a child with a serious genetic condition.
It's the best option for those who are interested in knowing their individual carrier status, are doing the test solo, using a donor, aren't eligible for Medicare, have Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, or simply want to do everything they can to understand their risk of passing a genetic disease to their child.
Comprehensive Carrier screens for 780+ inherited genetic diseases that affect children in Australia including:
CFTR — Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
SMN1 — Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)
FMR1 — FragileX Syndrome
HEXA— Tay Sachs Disease
HBA1/HBA2 — Alpha-thalassemia
It also screens for some gene variants that aren't covered in our other tests such as hearing and vision loss conditions, CAVD, which can influence fertility, or the GBA gene associated with Gauchers disease, which is common in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Your sample is processed at our international medical laboratory that is CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) and CAP (College of American Pathology) certified.
This means they meet high standards to obtain national certifications and submit themselves to regular inspections. It also means your results can be used to guide your pregnancy plans and be directly actioned at your doctor's office.
