A new at home screening test can tell couples planning a pregnancy whether they are likely to pass on genetic conditions to their child. Monash IVF’s Genetic Carrier Screening test checks for the three most common childhood genetic conditions; cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy and Fragile X syndrome. It also analyses whether parents are carrying genes for more than 400 other rare conditions. Kits can be ordered online and parents already expecting a baby can also take it.
