CarrierTest – preconception panel with partner compatibility
CarrierTest is a panel NGS test of selected regions with an impact on parental fertility and offspring health, using data from exome libraries. It determines the hidden carriage of key mutations in recessive genes that cause more than 60 genetic disorders and conditions.
When to order this test: Preconception test for couples – indication of CarrierTest for both partners, including mutual compatibility (method for compatibility is sent automatically with this test). If one of the partners already underwent CarrierTest at our workplace and now has a new partner, we will order this test for the new partner (if he/she did not undergo CarrierTest at our workplace) and order the “Addition of compatibility testing to the partner’s CarrierTest” method for the patient. If both partners underwent CarrierTest at our workplace, we choose only the “Addition of compatibility testing to the partner’s CarrierTest” for both partners.

CarrierTest is a panel NGS test of selected regions using data from exome libraries. It determines the hidden carriage of key mutations in recessive genes that cause more than 60 genetic disorders and conditions with an impact on parental fertility and offspring health.
Preconception genetic testing of one person without a partner (single).

6 weeksSTATIM
3 weeksCystic fibrosis – 50 mutations + Tn variants of IVS8 in the CFTR gene
Testing for the 50 most common CFTR gene mutations and determination of polymorphism in intron 8 (IVS8 Tn/TGn). These 50 mutations represent over 92% of the findings in patients diagnosed with CF in the Czech population using fragmentation analysis.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from bloodTurnover Time:
3 weeksSTATIM
1 weekAddition of compatibility testing to the partner’s CarrierTest
When to use this test: We have already performed CarrierTest in the patient, the partner either underwent it too or is now indicated for this test, but they have not yet been tested for their mutual compatibility, which is now required.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from bloodTurnover Time:
6 weeksSTATIM
3 weeksCarrierTest – preconception panel of donor candidate (carriage of recessive mutations)
Testing for the hidden carriage of key mutations in recessive genes that may affect the health status of carriers and their offspring. CarrierTest intended for donors is a panel NGS test of selected regions using data from exome libraries.
Material:
Peripheral blood, Isolated DNA from bloodTurnover Time:
4 weeksSTATIM
2 weeksAdditional evaluation of selected gene from CarrierTest panel for matching
Additional testing for hidden carriage of key mutations in selected recessive genes that may affect the health status of carriers and their offspring. The matching uses the evaluation of data from the already performed CarrierTest NGS testing intended for donors. When to use this test: We use it to match the donor with the partner who carries the mutation in the selected gene to determine the suitability of using this donor and eliminate any reproductive risk.
