In order to best plan for the family you want, it is important to have all of the information that is available to you. LabSolutions is committed to providing that information for our patients to have the best experience with your family planning. Our REVEAL™ Carrier Screening test allows for you to have the information needed to make the best decisions for you and your family.
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.
With our REVEAL™ testing, a simple saliva collection is used to provide an accurate determination of carrier status for over 160 genes. These results are reported back to you within approximately three weeks.
A negative indicates that you are not a carrier for a specific mutation.
A positive result indicates that you are a carrier for a gene. While this is not a diagnosis of an illness, it gives an indication that any of your children may be affected. It is also important to then determine if your partner is also a carrier.
