Family History Of Infertility Issues

Your genes have a story to tell. Any history of infertility issues in the family may be cause for concern

Abnormal Semen Analysis Results

More often than not, low sperm count and poor sperm morphology may be caused due to underlying genetic conditions that impact fertility

Abnormal Hormone Test Results

Hormonal imbalances can indicate the presence of conditions that affect your ability to conceive. While the cause of these issues may not be detected easily, genetic testing can help rule out the possibility of genetic linkage to the condition

Planning And Ready To Start A Family

Proactive testing can help identify any potential red flags at an early stage and hence devise a customised path to pregnancy

Other Reasons

Molecular confirmation of a clinical diagnosis

Genital ambiguity (irregular development)

What do the Results mean?

Uncover the genetic causes for infertlity, take informed desicions, plan the way forward and achieve desired outcomes

What Can the Test Tell You?

Identifying the genetic root cause of infertility issues

Assessment of reproductive risks for couples planning to conceive

Insights on possible treatment options based on the condition

Genetic counselling and access to information on individualised clinical care

What Can't the Test Tell You?

Guaranteed birth of a healthy child

Your chances of getting pregnant

Positive Result

A positive result means that a mutation was found, the likely cause of infertility.

In the planning stage, you can consider:

Artificial reproductive techniques such as IVF

Use of donor eggs or sperm

Alternate options such as adoption may be considered

Negative Result

A negative result indicates that no mutation or variation was found in the genes tested.

What's Next?
