Pre-Conception Molecular Panel

F5-T2 · Parenthood & Antenatal Genetics — Reproductive Medicine

₹18,000 /coupleDiagnostics only

Are either of us silent carriers of a recessive genetic condition that could affect our child, or do either of us carry a chromosomal rearrangement affecting fertility?

Best for

Couples with a family history of genetic conditions, a consanguineous marriage, or anyone wanting the most thorough pre-conception genetic picture available.

Time at centre: ~20 min, both partnersPreparation: None requiredReport: 2–3 weeks (partnered lab)Booking: Self-bookCollection: Blood: Home* or Centre

What's included

Expanded Carrier Screening — Both partners — screens for recessive condition carrier status (thalassemia, cystic fibrosis, SMA, and others relevant to Indian populations)
Couple Karyotyping (optional, +₹6,000/couple) — Fixed-price add-on — checks for balanced chromosomal translocations in either partner

What normal doesn't rule out

anything about the health of a future pregnancy directly — this tests the parents' carrier status, not the fetus. If both partners carry the same recessive condition, genetic counseling explains the actual risk and options.

Not included

Fetal testing — that's F6 (Antenatal), once pregnant
Baseline fertility/hormone panel (see F5-T1)

Not the right fit if

you're already pregnant — fetal genetic screening happens through F6 (Antenatal Genetic Screening), not this pre-conception panel.

Preparation

Preparation: A single blood draw per partner. No fasting or timing considerations. || Collection & eligibility: Home or centre blood collection for both partners. Self-bookable, no referral needed. Turnaround is longer (2–3 weeks) since this is processed by a partnered genomics lab.

Result pathway

Normal

No shared carrier status found — proceed with family planning as usual

Borderline

One partner is a carrier, other is negative — low risk, genetic counseling available

Abnormal

Both partners carry the same condition — genetic counseling strongly recommended

Urgent

Not applicable — this is a planning test, not an urgent-result category

Clinically relevant

Add-ons matched to this package — not “frequently bought”.

Strongly relevant: F5-T1 baseline fertility/hormone panel — if not already done, worth completing alongside this genetic panel
Sometimes relevant: F24 Hereditary Cancer/Cardiac panels — if there's a separate family history of cancer or inherited cardiac conditions

If you want more coverage

F5-T1 (₹9,300 each) if you haven't done the baseline fertility/hormone workup yet — this molecular panel is a genetic add-on, not a replacement.

Genetic counseling is available for this panel — not mandatory, but strongly recommended if either partner tests positive as a carrier. Ask at booking or on WhatsApp.
