Genetic testing services

Genetic testing identifies changes in chromosomes, genes or proteins. When a couple decides to have a child, they may also decide to get tested in order to help determine their carrier status of certain diseases and their chance of potentially passing on a genetic disorder. The decision to undergo genetic testing is not always an easy one to make, however many patients find the information gleaned from the tests to be very valuable as they go through the process of growing their families.

The following pages in this section provide more information on the Genetic Testing Services provided at Procrea Fertility.
