Clarity Genetics: Our Comprehensive Genetics Package

The Complete Picture for Your Journey

Our Comprehensive Genetics Package offers the highest level of reassurance by combining three essential services. While each is available individually, using them together provides a seamless "triple-layer" of support—reducing uncertainty from pre-conception through to early pregnancy.

What's Included in Your Package

What	When	Details
1. Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS)	Before IVF Treatment	Tests the couple for hundreds of inherited conditions to ensure you don't both carry the same rare gene variants.
2. Enhanced PGT-A Support	During the Embryo Stage	Expert guidance on embryo chromosome testing to help select the embryos most likely to lead to a healthy pregnancy.
3. Expanded NIPT	In Early Pregnancy	Advanced screening that checks for new genetic changes and syndromes not detectable in earlier stages.

1. Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS)

Understanding inherited risks before you begin.

Most people are "carriers" of at least one genetic condition without knowing it. This blood test identifies if you and your partner share the same variants, which could affect a future child.

What patients should know:

• Initial Consultation: A deep dive into your family history and what to expect.
• Clear Results: You’ll receive a plain-English summary letter alongside the technical lab report.
• Expert Guidance: Full support and a clear roadmap if a high-risk match is found (such as discussing PGT-M).

2. Enhanced PGT-A Support

Clarity before and after embryo testing.

PGT-A checks if embryos have the correct number of chromosomes. While the lab does the testing, we provide the specialist insight to help you interpret the results.

• Pre-test Strategy: Understanding the "quantity vs. quality" of DNA and what PGT-A can—and cannot—tell you.
• Result Interpretation: Specialist support for complex results (like "mosaic" embryos) so you can make confident decisions about your transfer.

3. Expanded Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

The final layer of reassurance.

Once pregnant, this advanced screen goes beyond standard hospital tests. It looks for "de novo" (new) conditions and micro-deletions that neither ECS nor PGT-A can detect.

• Pregnancy Consultation: A dedicated session in early pregnancy to review your NIPT options.
• Ongoing Support: Immediate access to our Genetic Counsellor to discuss results and any next steps for your pregnancy.
