View Available Tests

By combining Bionano Optical Genome Mapping technology with Whole Genome and Transcriptome Sequencing, Praxis Genomics is unique in offering genome-wide carrier testing with functional evaluation of the findings to identify the cause of infertility or genetic disorders that could affect the child.

This is the most sensitive and specific genetic testing available anywhere in the world and covers all types of genetic variants that go undetected by standard carrier testing. This combination testing allows a worry-free pregnancy and peace of mind for the future health of the child.

7-Day Turnaround Time

Praxis is proud to offer a 7-day turnaround time on full genetic analysis of amniotic fluid or chorionic villi samples without the need for time-consuming culturing and maternal cell contamination testing, making a difference in the lives of expecting families around the world.

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is commonly used to screen for chromosomal abnormalities early in pregnancy. However, pregnant women often face the issue of inconclusive NIPT results. These can be especially worrisome when there is a history of complicated and failed pregnancies or previous children with developmental problems.

Single Carrier Testing

Single Carrier Testing provided by Praxis ensures that both parents can produce healthy gametes (sperm or eggs). These tests identify the potential causes of infertility as well as inherited conditions that might be transmitted to future children.

Couple Carrier Testing

Couple Carrier Testing identifies recessive conditions which may affect the child, or result in repeated pregnancy losses.

For couples with fertility problems, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is an incredible option but it doesn't guarantee a successful pregnancy. One of the key hurdles is ensuring the genetic health of parents, as many IVF cycles result in early miscarriages or failed pregnancies due to undetected parental genetic abnormalities.

Genome Testing, offered in partnership with Praxis, can significantly improve IVF outcomes by identifying potential risks early and ensuring that only the healthiest embryos are transferred.

Ultrasound Analysis

Inconclusive Ultrasound Results

Inconclusive Ultrasound Results

Families may experience inconclusive ultrasound results which may or may not indicate fetal abnormalities or severe health defects. Praxis can exclude the most common causes of such findings and provide reassurance to families regarding the future of the pregnancy.

Conditions Screened For

We screen for common genetic conditions caused by extra or missing chromosomes in the baby's DNA. Using unique technology to distinguish between the pregnant person's and the baby's DNA, we can test for a comprehensive range of conditions including triploidy.
