One Screen, 100+ Diseases

Introducing one genetic screen for all prospective parents. Screening is recommended by the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)

Comprehensive Screening

Counsyl's Universal Genetic Test enables the determination of a person's carrier status for more than 100 single gene disorders using a single test. Individually rare yet collectively common, Mendelian disorders are a major public health problem, accounting for 10% of pediatric deaths. And 80% of cases occur in families with no history of the disease.

Cystic Fibrosis and Beyond

Counsyl's test can be used in place of traditional cystic fibrosis (CF) or Ashkenazi Jewish screens. The Universal Genetic Test includes these standard of care screens while simultaneously testing the carrier status for 100+ additional genetic diseases at extremely high accuracy. Counsyl's test screens for more mutations than other carrier tests for many disorders. For example, Counsyl screens for 109 CF mutations compared to 11 or 32 CF mutations in other tests.

One Test, All Ethnicities

Counsyl's Universal Genetic Test is beneficial for people of any ethnic group. Our screen includes a breadth and depth of mutations, including some that are specific to particular ethnic groups and others that appear broadly in the population.

Australians often have ancestry from multiple ethnic backgrounds, not all of which may be known to the couple or doctor. This makes it harder to know which genetic screens are appropriate for a couple looking to conceive. Counsyl's Universal Genetic Test avoids this problem by universal testing of a panel of commons mutations. The ethnicity influences the interpretation but not the results or scope of the Counsyl DNA testing.
