Carrier screening tests are suitable for couples that are planning to start a family, individuals with known family history of a rare disease, sperm and oocyte donors and recipients, and individuals from a population with known endemic genetic diseases.  

Unilabs Genetics´ carrier screen options include a core panel for autosomal recessive and X-linked conditions with a carrier frequency ≥1/200, based on 2021 Tier 3 guidelines by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG).  

We also offer an expanded panel applicable for diverse populations that can identify additional at-risk couples. It is especially considered in cases of family medical history or when a pregnancy stems from a known or possible consanguineous relationship. 

Our Infertility test includes genes associated with infertility in males and females. It is recommended for couples who are unable to conceive after trying for at least one year. This test can identify the genetic infertility cause and facilitate informed family planning that may include assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF. 

Karyotype analysis is also beneficial to couples unable to conceive or have had repeated miscarriages. It can detect structural (balanced rearrangements) and numerical (changes in sex chromossomes) abnormalities that can be the cause of reproductive disorders. 

Unilabs Genetics offers analysis of hundreds of different single genes for diagnostic purposes. We select disease-causing genes based on published clinical reports and curated variant & gene databases.

According to the type of pathogenic variants identified and reported for each gene, eg point mutation or deletion, we apply the most optimal methodology to accurately detect these DNA changes (NGS, Sanger sequencing, MLPA, qPCR, etc). 

The Unilabs Anatomic Pathology Laboratory includes the Embryofetopathology unit, a national reference laboratory equipped with a team of medical specialists and laboratory technicians with years of experience in obstetric surgical pathology.  

We perform a systematic macroscopic and microscopic study accompanied by an integrated pathological diagnosis on various types of tissues such as placenta, embryo, fetus, newborn and uterus. Unilabs has a wide variety of complementary medical specialties which allows a multidisciplinary integration of the cases and evaluation of clinical implications in future pregnancies, maternal and familial pathologies. 

Following the Anatomic Pathology analysis of the sample and per customer request, Unilabs can combine it with genetic testing (such as karyotype, aCGH and WES) for a more comprehensive diagnosis.
