With deep experience in recessive and X-linked conditions, SequenceMD provides expert reproductive genetic counseling and risk assessments for individuals and couples planning pregnancy.
About Carrier Screening
- Detect hidden reproductive risks in healthy patients

- Reduce risk of neonatal complications and help guide postnatal diagnostic work-up and early treatment if needed
- Clarify residual risk when family history is uncertain, or adoption is involved
