Why genetic screening matters
Every egg donor undergoes a thorough carrier screening panel for hundreds of inherited conditions, including cystic fibrosis, fragile X, spinal muscular atrophy, and more. This greatly reduces the risk of serious genetic disorders in offspring.
- Autosomal recessive conditions (e.g., cystic fibrosis)
- X‑linked disorders (e.g., fragile X)
- Chromosomal abnormalities through karyotyping
Peace of Mind
Our screening, combined with a detailed family history, ensures that only the healthiest donors are accepted. This gives recipients confidence in the safety of their chosen donor.
The Testing Process
Donors provide a blood or saliva sample. Results take approximately 2‑3 weeks. Carriers of certain conditions may still be accepted depending on the specific inheritance pattern.
