Match My Genome

Comprehensive Couple Carrier Screening. Plan Your Family With Confidence.

Every person, on average, carries 6–7 non-working genes that can cause serious genetic disorders — yet most carriers are completely healthy and unaware. When both partners carry a mutation in the same gene, each pregnancy has a 25% chance of an affected child. Match My Genome uses high-resolution Next Generation Sequencing on the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform to screen both partners simultaneously for carrier status across 2,000+ genetic conditions — giving couples the complete picture they need to plan a healthy family, before conception.

Both partners tested together — This test requires blood samples from both partners. Results are analyzed jointly to identify shared carrier risks. Order includes testing for both individuals.

How it works
1

Order for both partners

One order covers both partners. Your home collection kits ship within 24 hours — two sets of EDTA blood tubes and saliva swabs included.

2

Both partners collect samples

Each partner collects 2–4ml EDTA blood + saliva swab at home. Both samples returned together using the prepaid courier labels provided.

3

NGS analysis — Illumina Novaseq 6000

Both partners' samples analyzed simultaneously using Illumina Novaseq 6000 at 150–180X coverage across 2,000+ conditions in our NABL & CAP accredited lab.

4

Joint compatibility analysis

Results from both partners compared against each other — flagging conditions where both carry mutations in the same gene, which is the critical shared risk information.

5

Couple report + Genomic Expert consultation

Comprehensive couple carrier report in 3–4 weeks — including individual carrier status, shared at-risk conditions, and personalized reproductive options. Genomic Expert consultation included.

Frequently asked questions
Who should consider Match My Genome?
Match My Genome is recommended for all couples planning to conceive — regardless of family history. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends carrier screening for all patients either preconception or during pregnancy. It is especially important for consanguineous couples (related individuals), couples from similar ethnic backgrounds with higher genetic disorder prevalence (e.g., South Asian, Ashkenazi Jewish, Mediterranean), couples with a family history of genetic disorders, and those who have experienced recurrent pregnancy loss or previous affected pregnancies.
How is Match My Genome different from individual carrier tests?
Individual carrier tests (like our Beta-Thalassemia or Sickle Cell tests) screen for one specific condition. Match My Genome screens both partners simultaneously for 2,000+ genetic conditions in a single test — and critically, analyzes both results together to identify shared risks. A single partner being a carrier of a condition is generally not a health risk; what matters is when BOTH partners carry mutations in the SAME gene. Match My Genome identifies these shared risks with one comprehensive test.
What happens if a shared at-risk condition is found?
Finding a shared at-risk condition means both partners carry mutations in the same gene, giving each pregnancy a 25% chance of an affected child. Our Genomic Expert will explain the specific condition, its severity, and available options in detail. Reproductive options may include preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) during IVF — selecting unaffected embryos before pregnancy — prenatal diagnosis during pregnancy, natural conception with awareness and monitoring, or adoption. The right option depends on the specific condition and your personal values.
Why is this important even without a family history?
Every person carries approximately 6–7 non-working genes on average — and most carriers have absolutely no family history and no symptoms. These recessive conditions only appear when a child inherits two non-working copies — one from each parent. Since carriers are healthy and have no way of knowing without testing, carrier screening before conception is the only way to identify this invisible risk proactively.
Is data from both partners kept private?
Yes. Each partner's individual genetic data is fully private and protected under ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR standards. Individual data is never shared with the other partner without explicit consent — only the joint compatibility analysis is shared as a couple's report. Neither partner's individual carrier status is accessible to the other unless they choose to discuss it.
