London Pregnancy Clinic - genetic testing and counselling

Noninvasive investigation of baby’s genome

We take a holistic approach to fetal genetic health. First, we offer pre-test genetic counselling, explaining the pros and cons of various genetic screening tests.

Next, we use the most advanced NIPT and carrier screening tests to predict fetal genotype, which examines the baby’s genetic makeup. If genetic tests reveal any unusual or abnormal findings, we provide detailed counselling to explain the results and plan the next steps.

Finally, if there is any indication of a genetic syndrome, our fetal medicine experts perform ultrasound scans for fetal phenotype. These scans assess the baby’s physical characteristics to predict the severity of the condition.

If they cannot answer immediately, they will check their professional genetic sources and get back to you.

GENETIC Screening TESTS

London Pregnancy Clinic offers a wide range of advanced and effective genetic screening tests. The best time for carrier screening is before pregnancy; for NIPT, it is at 10 gestational weeks. Our tests cover various types of genetic conditions. We strongly recommend genetic counselling with our counsellors before choosing a test. They will guide you and help you select the best test for your needs and requirements.

Carrier Screening Tests

Screening for 787 monogenic conditions

BEACON 787 is one of the most advanced carrier screening tests, detecting a wide variety of severe autosomal recessive and X-linked genetic conditions. We strongly recommend genetic counselling before taking this test. If a genetic condition is found, post-test counselling is included in the price. We also recommend that both parents undergo simultaneous carrier screening testing. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of potential genetic risks.
