Genomics at the service of future parents

A complete genetic study to support family planning

Prevention starts with pregnancy planning

DNA.files PARENT is a genetic study that analyses if the future parents are carriers of mutations that can be transmitted to their children.

A safe and peaceful pregnancy

Through the DNA.files PARENT it is possible to follow the pregnancy, in cases of infertility and pregnancy losses.

Why DNA.files PARENT?

2 to 5%

of couples carry a mutation in the same gene responsible for the development of an autosomal recessive disease.

88 %

of babies carry at least one genetic mutation associated with a development of a paediatric recessive disease.

25%

is the probability of a baby to develop a disease if both parents are carriers of an autosomal recessive disease.

A study designed for future parents

DNA.files PARENT allows the future parents to consider different types of conception, in case they are carriers, in order to prevent the development of serious hereditary diseases.

How does heredity work?

What is a carrier?

A carrier is a person who has a mutation in a gene responsible for causing a recessive disease. The carrier is healthy, that is, does not develop symptoms associated with the respective disease.

And if both parents are carriers?

When both members of the couple carry a mutation associated with an autosomal recessive disease, their children have a 25% chance of having the disease.
