If the donor portal says the donor has not had genetic testing, that is because they fill out an application before they are accepted into our program. Once accepted, all our donors are tested for the most common genetic diseases and profiles are updated once test results are in.  The genetic panel typically includes but is not limited to the following diseases:

Alpha-Thalassemia, Beta-Globin-Related Hemoglobinopathies (The most frequent hemoglobinopathies are beta-thalassemia, sickle cell disease and HbC disease), Bloom Syndrome, Canavan Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Familial Dysautonomia, Familial Hyperinsulinism (ABCC8-Related),Fanconi Anemia, Group C, Fragile X Syndrome, Gaucher Disease, Glycogen Storage Disease, Type 1a,Joubert syndrome 2,Lipoamide Dehydrogenase Deficiency, Maple Syrup Urine Disease, Type 1a,Maple Syrup Urine Disease, Type 1b ,Melioidosis IV, Nemaline Myopathy 2,Niemann-Pick Disease (SMPD1-Related),Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Tay-Sachs Disease, Usher Syndrome, Type IF, Usher Syndrome, Type III, Walker-Warburg Syndrome and other FKTN-Related Dystrophies

CNY Fertility has recently expanded genetic screening on our egg donors to include over 200 genetic conditions. Since the availability of genetic testing changes over time, it’s likely that you will find that the diseases each donor is tested for varies slightly. All people carry mutations for disorders that are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. If an egg donor is known to carry a mutation for one or more inherited disorders, this information is made available on her profile. No amount of genetic testing can guarantee a normal healthy child.

We strongly recommend screening the sperm source if you select a donor with a positive result. Genetic counseling is available. You may go to the link below to find out more information about any particular disease.
