WESScreen

Healthy people with no history of genetic disease who decide to get married can do an exoscreen test to ensure that they do not pass on pathogenic mutations with a recessive inheritance pattern to their children. In this test, couples are checked for mutations that cause diseases affecting the quality of life and life-threatening. Exoscreen helps couples in consanguineous or even non-consanguineous marriages to prevent the birth of a baby with genetic defects. Considering the high rate of consanguineous marriages in the Iranian population in the past generations, as well as the higher prevalence of some genetic disorders, unrelated people may also contain the same mutations, which carries the risk of being passed on to the next generation and giving birth to a child with a genetic disorder. By performing an exoscreen test, couples can plan their future options for having a healthy child by knowing their genetic content.
