Product Overview

Carrier screening is a type of genetic test that can tell you whether you carry a gene for certain genetic disorders. When it is done before or during pregnancy, it allows you to find out your chances of having a child with a genetic disorder.

What it covers

Autosomal Recessive Disorders

1. Beta Thalassemia

2. Sickle Cell Anemia

3. Cystic Fibrosis

4. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

5. Spinal Muscular Atrophy

X-linked Recessive Disorders

1. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

2. Hemophilia A/B

3. Hunter Syndrome

4. G6PD Deficiency

6. X-Linked Mental Retardation

Why screen for inherited genetic conditions?

Each individual harbors an average of 2.8 known severe recessive mutation

Carriers are usually healthy or unaffected, but they have a risk of passing on their genetic condition to their children

Who should go for Carrier Screening?

When a couple is planning for a pregnancy, it is important that they know all they can about the health of their future family.

Carrier screening is recommended for people with a family history of a genetic condition.

All women who are thinking about getting pregnant or who are already pregnant.

When Should You Do Carrier Screening?

Carrier screening should be done before having children.

Carrier screening also can be done during pregnancy. Getting tested before pregnancy gives you a greater range of options and more time to make decisions.

How it is Done

We use Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for undergoing carrier screening tests

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a technology that can sequence hundreds or thousands of genes in a short period of time. NGS can be used for carrier screening to determine the risk of passing inherited disorders to children.

Traditional carrier screening tests for the most common known mutations. NGS panels test for all sequence changes, including pathogenic mutations and sequence variations of uncertain significance.

Customer Testimonial

Adithyan R

I had the Lifestyle screening test done for myself here. The staff were very friendly and proactive in giving me information about all the tests and packages available here. The test made me aware that I have to move often and do workouts with a balanced diet and I intend to follow a more active lifestyle from now on.

Anunand S J

I've recently been there for a diet screening, as I've done a full body test and was concerned about my health. The whole team were very friendly and they took a survey of my whole lifestyle and told me where and what I was lacking and what I'll have to do. I'm feeling much better with the change in energy I feel and will take the tests again in a month time.

The health awareness session organised by OhMyGene was truly enlightening and impactful. It provided valuable insights into various health topics. I particularly appreciate Ms. Resmi Maxim and Mr. Abin (whom I interacted with) for their interactive nature of the conversation, which encouraged active participation and fostered a supportive environment. I highly recommend attending future health awareness events organised by OhMyGene. It is an excellent opportunity to expand your health knowledge and take steps towards a healthier life. Once again, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the entire team behind this informative session.

We, students from Acharya institute of technology from dept. Of biotechnology, visited this company as part of our Industrial visit in Kerala, after a lot of research we found this place and it was our priority to visit this place to learn about the Genestrology and many more about bioinformatics and it's scope and we had a lot of fun and interactive classes and lab session in the company and had a great time learnt so much.

Dr. Vinay Shankar

I bought an OMG Junior test for my son. It was super easy to use. It came with step-by-step instructions and we had results faster than the expected time frame. Results gave us a lot of information regarding the nutritional requirement of my son. I’m definitely going to get the OMG’s Genestrology for myself and for my family.

Sometimes, one gene may affect more than one trait/ disease. And at times, many genes are associated with one trait/ disease. The gene associations mentioned are from scientific findings and globally published reports. Genomic Testing is a genetic screening of the important genes and does not replace your medical checkups or other diagnostic tests. Do not make decisions about your health solely based on the information contained in your gene report. Always consult with a licensed and experienced medical practitioner when you receive your gene report.
