Expanded Carrier Screening

Partnership wanted
Introduction
According to statistics from the World Health Organization, there are over 10,000 different monogenic genetic diseases worldwide, with a combined prevalence rate of as high as 1%. This is eight times the prevalence rate of Down syndrome, which is typically estimated at 0.125%. What's even more alarming is that up to 80% of children with monogenic genetic diseases have no family history of such conditions in their parents.

However, despite their high prevalence, only 5 out of every 100 affected children have access to medications and treatment methods. As a result, most monogenic-related diseases often lead to structural defects, metabolic abnormalities, and, in severe cases, even death shortly after birth. This significantly impacts the health of these infants.

To prevent the potential transmission of unknown genetic diseases to their children, it is recommended that couples planning to conceive undergo "Prenatal Genetic Carrier Screening for Multiple Diseases" before pregnancy. This screening helps identify potential genetic disease risks, ensuring a healthier future for their children.
