Family Tree Analysis: Initial Risk Assessment for Genetic Diseases
After entering your family history details on the pedigree chart, an inheritance pattern will be displayed along with an assessment of your genetic risk level. This process can mitigate undue anxiety and facilitates tailored guidance from specialists trained in genetic counseling.
The system will compute your risk using the input data, presenting results with color-coded rankings. Risk levels span from low (yellow) to high (red). Individuals receiving a green test result bear the same risk as those without a family history of genetic and inherited disorders.

Pregnancy Planning: Confidence for New and Experienced Mothers
Approximately 80% of children diagnosed with genetic disorders are born to parents who display no overt signs of those conditions. This phenomenon arises due to the inscrutability of genetic diseases via ultrasound examination and emphasizes the crucial role of preconception genetic screening and thorough health assessments. The insights gained from these evaluations contribute to understanding the risk of hereditary diseases in offspring. Moreover, the outcomes of these tests enable specialists to effectively identify latent genetic inclinations in babies, which might have been present even before conception.
If parents discover a genetic abnormality in their first child, they can request a consultation with a specialized Samitivej OB-GYN trained in genetic counseling. This expert can help devise a plan for conceiving their next child using assisted reproductive technology.
Currently, preconception genetic screening can detect over 500 genes, identifying more than 500 genetic disorders with up to 95% accuracy.

- Samitivej's medical-grade genetic screening includes recently identified genes as well as suspected genes that lack definitive disease proof. This approach is designed to optimize health planning by maximizing benefits. These screenings are only performed when deemed medically necessary and approved by a specialist, setting them apart from conventional direct-to-consumer genetic tests that are easily accessible for purchase and center on ease of use and convenience. In instances of identified abnormalities, your doctor may recommend additional medical-grade screenings to validate outcomes. Consequently, direct-to-consumer testing is better suited for individuals in robust health without a family history of genetic disorders.
