Carrier screening in Cardiff - what to expect locally
We collect your sample at a partner clinic in the city centre, a few minutes from Cardiff Central for easy access. Cardiff and the wider South Wales region have one of the highest cystic-fibrosis carrier rates in the UK.
Carrier screening in Cardiff tests you for over 600 recessive genetic conditions - diseases that can be inherited by children when both parents carry the same gene variant, even though neither parent is affected. Most carriers don't know they're carriers, which is why pre-conception or early-pregnancy screening is the only reliable way to find out before it matters clinically.
Each Cardiff customer's report includes a one-to-one consultation with a Jeen genetic counsellor, who walks through the results in plain English and explains what the findings mean for your specific situation - whether you're planning a pregnancy, already pregnant, or weighing IVF options. We never send results without that conversation. Sample collection takes about 15 minutes; results return within 3–4 weeks. Couples often book the couple-screening package together for a more complete picture.
