About SaferStart
Reduce your risk of passing on a genetic disease
Everyone carries some genetic changes, but most don’t affect our health. Risks arise when both partners carry changes in the same gene.
​
Research shows that around 1 in 25 couples may face this situation — meaning their children could inherit a serious genetic condition.
​
SaferStart’s at-home test helps you and your partner understand your risk before pregnancy. If results show an increased chance, a medical doctor will explain your options — including approaches like IVF — so you can make the choices that are right for you.

Screening estimates chances; it is not a diagnostic test and cannot detect all genetic conditions. A negative result lowers, but does not completely remove risk.
