Screening Tests

A screening test estimates a risk, or the likelihood that a disorder or disease is present. Risks are measured as being high or low. A high-risk result is a sign that a diagnostic test is indicated. We have a range of reproductive health screening tests aimed at screening for genetic disorders before you get pregnant (preconception), during pregnancy, or for potential causes of miscarriage. For more information see our screening tests below.
