Pre-Pregnancy Genetic Disease Testing
What is Pre-Pregnancy Genetic Disease Testing?
Pre-pregnancy genetic disease testing involves collecting peripheral blood or saliva samples from both partners before pregnancy. This helps determine if either partner is a carrier of recessive genetic diseases, allowing for a scientific approach to pregnancy planning. Through further genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis, this testing aims to prevent the vertical transmission of pathogenic genes associated with single-gene genetic diseases, thereby preventing the birth of babies with genetic defects.
Genetic Diseases Are Not Rare
7000+ types: There are over 7000 types of rare diseases, 80% of which are genetic diseases caused by gene defects.
95%: 95% of these diseases have no corresponding drug treatments.
5.6%: The birth defect rate in China is 5.6%.
900,000 cases: Each year, there are 900,000 new cases of birth defects.
Every 30 seconds: A child with a birth defect is born every 30 seconds.
2.8: On average, each person carries 2.8 pathogenic mutations for recessive single-gene genetic diseases.
Who Should Pay Attention To Genetic Disease?
- Couples preparing for pregnancy and concerned about their own and their child’s health
- Pregnant women in early pregnancy (within 16 weeks) with indications or special needs; couples with unexplained infertility
- Couples with a history of adverse pregnancies (recurrent miscarriages, repeated IVF failures, early pregnancy loss)
- Couples who have already given birth to a child with a genetic disease
- Couples where one or both partners have a family history of genetic diseases
Genetic disease are preventable and controllable
The primary method to prevent birth defects is primary prevention, which involves conducting genetic testing and interventions before pregnancy. This helps to identify carriers of recessive single-gene genetic diseases, preventing the transmission of pathogenic genes to the next generation and the birth of babies with defects.

Our Steps
Choose the Test Items
After consulting with a doctor to understand the pre-pregnancy genetic disease testing items, select the test items, sign the informed consent form, and proceed with the testing.
Prepare Test Samples
According to the doctor’s instructions, collect peripheral blood or saliva samples. The test samples will be sent to a standard clinical laboratory for genetic testing.
Obtain Test Results
After the samples arrive at the laboratory, it takes 30 working days to conduct the tests, allowing for comprehensive and accurate analysis of your samples.
Consult Options
Once you receive the test results, you can consult with your doctor about the appropriate reproductive options, ensuring a higher degree of health for your baby.
