Did you know it is possible to perform your genetic tests at our clinic? Reliable and quick analyses are available to best meet your needs. Here is a list of tests that you can perform with us:

Carrier genetic testing can identify your genetic status (carrier or non-carrier) for so-called recessive and X-linked conditions, and reduce the risk of transmission to your future children. It may be recommended if there is a consanguinity link between you and your partner, if your family history is not well known (for example if you were adopted) or simply if you wish to have more reassurance to reduce your genetic risks in a preconception context.

Procedure for performing a genetic analysis and receive results:

• • Under medical prescription (from your family doctor, gynecologist, or other), simply contact the ovo laboratory department to make an appointment for a sample.
  • Time to obtain the results of genetic analyses: 10 to 21 calendar days.

The prescribing physician is responsible for interpreting the results.

*Men are tested for recessive conditions only. 

When starting a family, it’s exciting to think about what traits your baby will inherit. You hope your child gets your best qualities, and you want to know if there are any health concerns hiding in your genes.
