The Genetic Health Hub

‍

A fantastic new Partnership between Muhdo and TransformNow with the Introduction of congenital testing through The Genetic Health Hub.

Muhdo are delighted to be working alongside the team of professionals and clinicians at TransformNow with an extremely important collaboration looking at an area of health which unfortunately is still often overlooked for those looking to start a family, namely congenital health testing.

The Genetic Health Hub enables patients to undertake the latest in genetic carrier risk testing, which allows them to make more informed reproductive decisions, as well as taking long term preventative measures for longevity.

Offered before pregnancy for parents to gain knowledge about their reproductive health early will provide them with better family planning decisions.

Did you know that 80% of couples with children born with a genetic recessive disorder do not have any family history of disease.

1 in 2 chance that a child will inherit a normal gene from one parent and the gene change from the other parent and will be a carrier of the genetic condition.

1 in 4 chance that a child will inherit a normal gene from both mother and father and will neither be a carrier of the genetic condition nor be affected by the condition.

1 in 4 chance that a child will inherit the gene change, from their mother and father, and will be affected by the condition.

Genetic Carrier Risk and Family History

These genetic risks can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the child’s parents’ genetic makeup and family history. While genetics play a significant role in a baby’s health, lifestyle factors, including diet and other interventions, can also have a substantial impact on mitigating or managing these risks.

GHH provides congenital reports surrounding 58 genetic predispositions or mutations that may increase the risk of developing a certain health condition or disease later in life.

This analysis enables parents to make more informed reproductive decisions and is offered before pregnancy to allow them to gain knowledge about their reproductive health early.

Your results will also be thoroughly explained via either a face to face or video call appointment, where we will explain all of your genetic results and any questions or issues that you might have.

Why choose GHH?

We have performed our own scientific research utilising machine learning to develop proprietary algorithms to identify all potential variances that could lead to a genetic order condition.

Expectant parents or couples planning a family may be at risk of passing on severe genetic diseases to their offspring, of which they are asymptomatic carriers. For the majority of conditions, both copies of the gene need to have a gene change to cause symptoms.

Therefore, a person who has a gene change in one copy of the gene is a carrier and most likely does not have any symptoms. The only way to find out if a couple is carrier of a genetic disorder is to have genetic carrier testing.
