1. Visit Our Clinic in Person
The simplest option if you are planning a trip to Prague. Blood collection kits are readily available at the clinic; you will sign the informed consent on-site and pay the test fee – €375 per person.
Couple's Genetic Compatibility Test
Did you know that every person is an unknowing carrier of an average of five genetic mutations? A single blood draw can reveal whether you and your partner carry a hidden recessive mutation in the same gene that could affect the health of your future child. You don't have to travel to Prague for this – we will send the blood collection kit directly to your home.
Why Test Genetic Compatibility?
There are numerous genetic disorders, and some only manifest if both you and your partner pass on the same mutated gene to your child. Both of you can be completely healthy and go your entire lives without knowing you are carriers of a gene mutation.
The test checks whether both of you carry a hidden recessive mutation in the same gene. If you do, you will know in advance – and discuss your options together with our clinical geneticist.
We screen dozens of genes associated with the most common hereditary recessive diseases – including cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), sickle cell anemia, beta-thalassemia, phenylketonuria, Tay-Sachs disease, Wilson's disease, and thrombophilic mutations that can affect pregnancy. You can find the complete list of tested genes in the downloadable PDF.
Two Ways to Take the Test
2. Remote Testing from Home
If you prefer not to travel, the entire process can easily be handled remotely:
- Fill out a brief online questionnaire so we can set up your medical file and prepare the informed consent in your name.
- Pay the test fee – €375 per person – via bank transfer.
- We will mail you the blood collection kit – including sample tubes, cover letter, pre-filled informed consent, pre-addressed return envelope, and step-by-step instructions.
- Your general practitioner, gynecologist, or a local medical facility will perform the blood draw.
- Have your signature on the informed consent officially notarized – this is the only additional step compared to visiting our clinic, and it is legally mandatory.
- Send the blood sample along with the notarized consent back to us in the provided return envelope.
What Happens Next
Once received, your sample goes directly to our in-house genetic laboratory. Analysis takes 10–12 weeks from sample receipt. The final medical report is issued in English and delivered to you via secure email.
If you wish to discuss the results in person or online, you can book a consultation with our clinical geneticist. If you do not speak English, our coordinator will join the session to provide translation assistance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I really need to travel to Prague?
No. The blood draw can be performed by your GP or gynecologist in your home country, and you simply mail the sample back to us.
Why do I need a notarized signature?
Because the blood collection does not take place at our clinic, we must legally verify that the informed consent was genuinely signed by the person whose sample is being tested. This is a one-time requirement.
Who performs the blood draw?
Typically your GP, gynecologist, or a local medical laboratory – precise instructions for healthcare professionals are included in the kit.
In what language will I receive the results, and can I consult them?
The report is issued in English. During your consultation with our geneticist, we will explain all the findings in detail – and if needed, our coordinator will assist with language translation. The consultation can also take place online.
How long does the entire process take?
From the moment our laboratory receives your sample, processing takes 10–12 weeks. Postal transit times for the kit delivery and return shipment are additional.
How much does the test cost?
€375 per person.
