The Clarity Genetics Universal Panel screens for more common genetic conditions across multiple ethnicities, such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs. Knowing your actual risk is critical because the results can impact the course of your family’s life. As the most comprehensive test available, the exclusive Clarity Genetics CGD Universal Test Panel can address this complete list of genetic diseases specific to North American families:
- Bloom syndrome
- Canavan disease
- Cystic fibrosis (CF)
- Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency (DLD)
- Factor II
- Factor V Leiden Familial dysautonomia (FD)
- Familial hyperinsulinism (FHI)
- Fanconi anemia type C
- Fragile X Syndrome
- Gaucher disease
- Glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD1A)
- Joubert syndrome
- Maple Syrup Urine Disease (Type 1A & 1B) (MSUD)
- Mucolipidosis type IV
- Nemaline myopathy
- Niemann-Pick disease type A and type B
- Spinal muscular atrophy
- Tay-Sachs disease
- Usher Syndrome — Type 1F and Type III
- Walker – Warburg syndrome
The Universal Panel Advantage includes screening for all diseases covered in the Universal Test Panel and the following diseases:
- Alpha thalassemia
- Beta thalassemia
- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD)
- Sickle cell anemia
Who Should Take It?
- All individuals of childbearing age, regardless of gender
- Anyone considering in vitro fertilization
Why Clarity Genetics?
When testing, our laboratory analyzes all of the coding DNA in a gene to determine if any disease-causing pathogenic variants are present. By sequencing all of the coding DNA in a gene, instead of just a portion, we are able to offer the most accurate genetic testing available, regardless of your ethnicity. The majority of laboratories are only sequencing a portion of the gene, leaving room for error with missed pathogenic variants, especially when testing a variety of ethnicities. By sequencing the entire gene, Clarity Genetics testing eliminates the doubt in a negative result and drastically reduces the residual risk, regardless of ethnicity.
