Up to 90% of healthy individuals carry one or more “bad” genetic variants that can potentially cause genetic disorders in their children. Thus, genetic screening and counseling should be offered to all couples before pregnancy so they learn about their reproductive risk and consider the complete range of reproductive options. While the national premarital screening program only tests two genetic conditions, MyReproductiveCare tests over 300 genetic disorders and provides couples with detailed recommendations on how to minimize the risk of having children with genetic diseases.
