Genesis Genetics Institute
testing for genetic conditions

Diseases we test for

The DNA that two individuals mix together to make a baby is unique. Genesis Genetics is known globally for our ability to test for some of the rarest genetic conditions, as well as the more common ones. Couples who are at-risk for essentially any serious inherited disease (we will not test for trivial traits) can reduce this risk to their offspring by working with our team.

Below are some of the genetic disorders for which we have successfully performed PGD. This is in no way a complete list of diseases for which PGD is possible; we add to this list every week. We can test for essentially any genetic disease that has been identified by a mutation report. If the disease of concern in your family is not listed below, contact us to determine if PGD is possible.
