1 in 30 are healthy carriers of cystic fibrosis and can pass it on

to their baby. GENES2LIFE can diagnose it before a pregnancy.

GENES2LIFE

Genes2Life is a genetic test for people who wants to become pregnant. The Genes2Life panel consists of 93 genes associated with recessive diseases. The panel is specifically designed to only include diseases that are treatable and is therefore useful for parents that seek to become pregnant without a donor. 

RECESSIVE GENETIC DISEASE

Two copies of the same mutated gene, one in the woman and one in the man, cause the disease.


 

The Genes2Life panel is regularly updated according to the newest recommendations and knowledge obtained in the field of genetic diseases. The Genes2Life panel is based on the recommendations from ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists).

  • Carrier probability: 1 in 100 couples at risk
  • Characteristics and symptoms related to a known disease
  • Have a detrimental effect on the quality of life
  • Can damage physical and mental ability
  • Require surgical or medical intervention
  • Early-onset disease
  • Can be diagnosed prenatally

TYPE OF GENETIC DISEASES INVESTIGATED WITH GENE2LIFE:

Genetic diseases: Spinal muscular atrophy. 
Statistics: 1 in 6000 -10000 children are born with the disease. In the United Kingdom approx. 2000-2500 children and adults live with SMA.

Genetic diseases: Cystic Fibrosis.
Statistics: Approx. 1 in 30 people is a healthy carrier of cystic fibrosis without knowing it. In Denmark, 1-2 children are born with cystic fibrosis every month. This represents approx.  150000 people in Denmark.

Genetic diseases: Lysosomal diseases such as Tay-Sachs, Sandhoffs, Niemann, Gauchers, Mannosidose, Fukosidose, Sialidose, Hurlers, Hunter, Sanfilippos, Morquios, I-cell, Cystinose, Sallas, Wolmans.
Statistics: Approx. 70 different lysosomal diseases. Each of these is very rare, but as a group, they affect about 1 in 5000-8000 newborns. Every year, about 10 children are born with one of these diagnoses in Denmark.
