Reproductive Health Research Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Understanding risk factors for inherited genetic disorders is an important step in evaluating reproductive options. Expanded carrier screening (ECS) research and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) offer critical insights that may increase probability of success for future pregnancies and healthier future generations.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized reproductive health research with a high-throughput technology for rapidly sequencing DNA, with high accuracy. NGS has expanded both our menu of known genetic variants and our capacity to identify them. Ion Torrent NGS solutions deliver scalable, precise sequencing for better reproductive health outcomes.
