- Did you know there is an easy and cheap (oftentimes free with insurance) test that can tell you if you have an increased risk to have a child with a life impacting and/or life shortening genetic disease? You can even complete this testing from the comfort of your own home. The genetic test that should be offered to all people prior to conception is called carrier screening. In today's video Katie Lee Hornberger, Certified Genetic Counselor, explains what carrier screening it is and why you may want to consider carrier screening before or during pregnancy.
Katie Lee Hornberger is a certified genetic counselor with 7+ years of practice in reproductive medicine. She has worked for one of the most well-known IVF clinics in the United States and a laboratory that offers fertility-related genetic testing. She is currently employed by one of the largest sperm banks in the US. Katie started this RUclips channel to support people going through fertility treatment and miscarriages. On this channel Katie discusses topics in fertility/preconception genetic counseling and her own personal experience with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.

I am completely clueless on the topic. But can these test help to detect certain eye diseases as well? Thank you for educating us.
Hi can you answer my question please
If we do genetic tests and results show me or my husband is a carrier of any mutation but we want to conceive naturally can we get any medical help other than IVF?
We have already 1 healthy child and after that 2 recurrent miscarriages.
I already checked for blood clotting disorder and I have factor V R2 mutation and PAI-1 can this be a reason for 2 failed pregnancies?
Does amniocentesis confirm for sure if baby will have the disease/symptoms versus being just a carrier of the gene like the parents?
Hi I have 2 failed IVFs, had a miscarriage with natural conception 2 years back. Got karyotype testing done, my partners tests are normal but I have ,dup(15)(q11.2q13).ish dup(15)(D15Z1+,SNRPN++,UBE3A++,PML+,15qter+) with no symptoms.
Does it mean I cannot conceive naturally and I have high chances of having a failed pregnancy or having abnormalities in baby if conceived?
How high is the chance of the child being affected if only one parent is the carrier for a specific genetic disease?
The chance is typically significantly reduced if only one parent is a carrier and the other parent tested negative for the condition. There are actually numbers called residual risks included on the test report which can help you calculate the chance that a child would be affected based on the reports. You may want to consider asking your doctor or a genetic counselor this question and they can use your reports to give you a more exact answer.
