    Fertility & Reproduction Genetic Testing

    Sometimes there can be genetic reasons which affect fertility and/or successful reproduction. Testing can be performed to determine or exclude a genetic cause for issues associated with both fertility and reproduction.

    Genetic Disorder Testing

    Genetic disorders arise from a change in your DNA. Sometimes these changes have no obvious effect and we are totally unaware that they exist. Other times these changes can have an effect on our appearance and on our ability to do certain tasks or become apparent when we start to try and conceive a baby.

    These genetic changes may be:

    a mutation (where a DNA base is substituted for another) a deletion a duplication an inversion a translocation (where part of one chromosome is transposed to another)

    Some genetic changes are well-characterised and known collectively as genetic disorders. It can be important to know if you or your child has a genetic change in order to understand why they look or behave in a certain way and to access treatment and support.

    Some of our tests can help with the diagnosis of a specific genetic disorder.
