Our REVEAL™ test uses full gene sequencing to provide insight on whether or not a patient may be a carrier of a genetic disorder, allowing provider and patient to make well-informed family planning decisions.
Carrier Screening provides information regarding the parents’ genetic background and how their children may be impacted. By knowing each parent’s genetic risks, families can understand the possibility of a child being affected by certain hereditary conditions.
The REVEAL™ test is a simple saliva collection that can accurately determine carrier status. Results are reported back to your healthcare provider within approximately three weeks.
A negative result indicates you are not a carrier of any of the variants tested, which can provide significant peace of mind. However, no test can detect all of the possible genetic variants. Even if your test results are negative, it is still possible that your baby could inherit a genetic disorder.
A positive result tells you that you are a carrier of a genetic variant and you could be at risk of having an affected child. In most cases, it is important to find out if your partner is also a carrier.
