What genetic conditions do we test for?

1. Serious genetic conditions

Conditions that impact a child’s life expectancy or development and have limited treatment options.

2. Results are actionable

The knowledge of being a carrier can open up reproductive options, including using IVF to avoid passing on the condition.

3. Relevant to everyone

With screening options ranging from 3 to over 780+ genes, our tests are relevant for people of all ethnicities & backgrounds.

What our tests cover

More than 80% of healthy individuals will be carriers of at least one condition. Which is why a broader panel gives a clearer picture of risk.

These charts show the distribution of genetic conditions across 7 health impact categories in our core, couples, and comprehensive carrier screening panels. The chart widths are proportional to the total number of conditions in each panel.

Each condition is categorised based on the primary body systems and functions it affects. The categories help understand the breadth of health impacts covered by genetic screening.

Carrier screening at a glance

There are two types of conditions on Eugene’s carrier tests:

Eugene Labs

1. Recessive conditions

Recessive conditions cover the majority of conditions that are on the test. Carriers of recessive conditions are completely healthy and show no signs of the condition. However, if both parents are carriers of the same condition, there’s a one in four chance that their children would have the condition.

A couple of important things to note are that most people are carriers of one or more genetic conditions; And most children born with a recessive condition showed no family history of it.

2. X-linked conditions

For x-linked conditions the sex of the parent who passes on the variant influences the risk for the children. They are generally passed on from carrier mothers and more commonly affect boys.

If the mum is a healthy carrier and they have a son, there is a 50% chance that the child could be affected by the condition. If they have a daughter, there is a a 50% chance that they will be a healthy carrier — like her mum. At Eugene only females are screened for x-linked conditions.
