Frequently asked questions
What is carrier screening?+
Carrier screening is a genetic test that identifies whether you carry a gene variant associated with certain inherited conditions. Carriers are typically healthy and have no symptoms. In most cases, it is impossible to know what you are a carrier for without testing.
When two partners are each carriers for the same condition, there is generally a 25% chance with each pregnancy of having a child affected by that condition. Carrier screening gives couples this information before or during pregnancy so they can make informed, empowered decisions.
How much does it cost?+
The genetic test itself costs 1,495 CHF and is paid out of pocket. Genetic counselling sessions cost 200–300 CHF each and are covered by regular health insurance.
What can I do with my results?+
If both partners are identified as carriers for the same condition, your genetic counsellor will explain the full range of options available to you. These may include:
- Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) — genetic testing of embryos created through IVF before a pregnancy is established
- Prenatal testing during pregnancy — such as chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis to test the pregnancy directly
- Proceeding with this information — some couples choose to continue a pregnancy with a full understanding of the possible outcomes
- Donor conception or adoption — options that some carrier couples explore
There is no single “right” answer, and our team is here to support whatever path feels right for you. Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific situation.
