Fertiscan

Description

Fertiscan

The most comprehensive genetic test for an innovative approach to male and female infertility causes in couples with reproductive difficulties

About 10-15% of male infertility cases and 8-10% of female infertility cases are associated with genetic alterations, which can include chromosomal abnormalities or single gene mutations.

20% of the cases is defined as “idiopathic infertility” because it is not possible to certainly diagnose the presence of underlying causes.

TECHNOLOGY

High-resolution sequencing – The genes included in the Fertiscan™ Panels* are entirely sequenced at high reading depth thanks to the use of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies.

The analysis involves the complete study of the coding portion of each gene (full exon sequencing) at high resolution.

The genetic sequences obtained are interpreted by an advanced bioinformatic analysis, in order to identify any mutations associated with pathologies in the analysed genes.

How is the test performed

10 ml Blood Sample for each client

Results available 20 working days from the sample arriving in the lab

 

Sample collection options:

You will need to use a ‘private phlebotomy service’ to have your blood drawn (there will be a small charge for this) – a Google search will help you locate your nearest service. Some GP practices offer phlebotomy services however this varies regionally.

This test provider also offer free genetic counselling via a telephone consultation for all test results.

We always recommend that you discuss your results with your Healthcare Professional.
