qCarrier qCarrier Carrier screening to reduce reproductive risk Genetic screening to determine whether a person is an asymptomatic carrier of recessive diseases that could be passed on to their offspring. When both partners are carriers of the same disease, the reproductive risk is very high. Since carriers generally do not show symptoms and often have no family history, this type of genetic testing is the only tool available to identify a person’s carrier status. The qCarrier test is performed by sequencing the exome and subsequently analyzing more than 300 genes associated with autosomal recessive and X-linked diseases with varying degrees of impact on quality of life. The test includes additional technology for studying genes that are more complex. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in the analyzed genes are reported. qCarrier Auto EC Automated analysis of variants with evidence of pathogenicity previously described as causing disease according to the ClinVar database in more than 300 selected genes. qCarrier Plus EC Analysis of any variant present in coding regions and certain regulatory regions in more than 300 selected genes. Who is it recommended for? Any individual or couple who wants to know if they are carriers of the same recessive disease. Gamete banks or fertility clinics, with the aim of testing egg or sperm donors and recipients to prevent them from being carriers of the same disease. Are you interested in qCarrier but you do not have a doctor that provides the service? Our medical professionals can help you Contact us More informationWhy choose qCarrier? Developed in collaboration with expert clinicians through partnerships with leading medical groups in Spain. Exome sequencing allows for subsequent analysis to include specific genes based on family history or the onset of disease. qMatching software for compatibility analysis between couples and/or patient-donor. It provides important information for making informed decisions about family planning, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or egg or sperm donation.Approximately 3% of couples are carriers of the same disease. With each pregnancy, these couples have a 25% risk of having offspring affected by the disease they carry.Are you interested in offering qCarrier?Contact us and find out how we can work together.Contact us
