About Us
A genetic disorder is condition caused by abnormalities in your genes or chromosomes.
this is my: genetics offers many types of genetic tests and screenings for chromosomal and gene based problems. Gene carrier testing examines a person’s DNA to ascertain if they are a carrier of a faulty gene which can be subsequently passed on to future generations. Chromosomal screening examines for the presence of extra chromosomes either found in a person or unborn baby which can cause a condition.

Chromosomal Screening
Checking for absence, presence, deletion or duplication of chromosomes either in a person or unborn baby which can cause a condition.
Screening the unborn baby is the most common chromosomal screening as all pregnant women, whatever their age, carry a risk of delivering a baby with a chromosomal problem; the risk increase as the age of the mother and father get older. These syndromes are chromosomal abnormalities caused by the absence, presence, deletion or duplication of a chromosome within the cells of the baby.

All pregnant women, whatever their age, carry a risk of delivering a baby with a chromosomal problem; the risk increases as the age of the mother and father get older. These syndromes are chromosomal abnormalities caused by the absence, presence, deletion or duplication of a chromosome within the cells of the baby.
We are able to calculate the risk from as early as 9 weeks into pregnancy not only for Down’s Syndrome (T21) but also for Edward’s (T18) and Patau (T13) syndromes. In addition, we can calculate the risk for other rare abnormalities including Triploidy, Turner’s and many other syndromes. Trisomy 21 is the most common chromosomal abnormality followed by Trisomy 18, Trisomy 13, Triplody and Turner’s syndrome.
With the new technology we can now also screen all 24 chromosomes including micro deletions and duplications.

Inherited Carrier Gene Screening
Screening for gene disorders in parents that may be passed to affect their baby.
Most people do not know they are carriers and sadly, each year around the world millions of parents find out only when their child is born with a serious life-threatening genetic disorder.

Most people do not know they are carriers and sadly, each year around the world millions of parents find out only when their child is born with a serious life-threatening genetic disorder.
Gene Carrier Screening takes blood samples from a healthy individual, or couple, who otherwise show no signs of a disorder, to see if they carry a faulty gene or even carry a matching faulty gene.
Identifying family members who may have had a condition in the past can help determine which genetic tests may be appropriate.
If you are pregnant, or are considering becoming pregnant, and are concerned about having a baby with a health problem, you may want to explore the options for gene screening.
In partnership with expert accredited laboratories, this is my: genetics is able to offer specific gene testing. If we know what you are looking for we can use specialised new generation sequencing to look for most genetic problems.

Newborn Gene Screening
The screening of newborns for disease and inherited disorders.
Each year, an estimated 7.9 million babies worldwide are born with birth defects, many of whom appear healthy at birth and come from families with no history of the disorder. Many affected babies are not identified until the appearance of severe and often irreversible symptoms later in life.
