What is Pre-Pregnancy Genetic Evaluation?

Pre-pregnancy genetic evaluation involves a series of tests to identify inherited conditions or chromosomal abnormalities that could be passed on to the child. This screening helps couples make informed reproductive choices and explore preventive measures if needed.

Who Should Consider Genetic Evaluation?

Genetic screening is beneficial for:

  • Couples with a family history of genetic disorders

  • Individuals from ethnic backgrounds with higher risks of specific conditions

  • Those who have experienced recurrent miscarriages or unexplained infertility

  • Couples using assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF

  • Carriers of known genetic conditions

  3. Chromosomal Analysis: Karyotyping is performed to check for chromosomal abnormalities that could lead to miscarriage or birth defects.

  4. Advanced Genetic Testing: In some cases, next-generation sequencing (NGS) or whole-exome sequencing is recommended for detailed genetic insights.
