Genes2life/Genes4life
Genes2Life examines 93 genes, while Genes4Life examines 430 genes.
In order to pass on an autosomal recessive disorder, both parents must be carriers of the same disease gene. If both are carriers, there is a 25 % risk of having a child with the disease, a 25 % probability of having a child who is not a carrier, and a 50 % probability of having a healthy child who is a carrier.

Genes4Life screens for genetic conditions with autosomal recessive inheritance. This means a person can be a healthy carrier of a genetic condition without having any symptoms. Both parents must carry a mutation in the same gene in order to have an affected child.
The genetic conditions with high prevalence that we screen for with Genes4Life include, for example, cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy.
