Adventia test

Carrier testing of genetic diseases for informed family planning.

The decision to have a child is one of the most important steps in life. Concern for the health of the future child, and the parents' peace of mind, is very important. That is why our patients can take the Adventia test, a modern, safe genetic test that allows you to find out if you carry hidden gene alterations - ones that could be passed on to your offspring. The test is non-invasive, painless and completely safe, and the knowledge it provides may be crucial to your child's health.

Test Adentia - what is the study?

Carrying genetic diseases often does not give any symptoms. Changes can occur in the genes which, if present in both parents, can increase the risk of serious diseases in the child.

It is estimated that up to 1 in 4 people are carriers of a genetic disease¹. Although many of these diseases are rare, they can have a serious impact on a child's health and development, and some can be life-threatening. Without screening, carriers of recessive mutations are often detected, only after the birth of the affected child.

In order to prevent such situations, it is recommended that a modern screening test for genetic diseases be carried out - the Adventia test. This test analyses a large number of genes for abnormalities that may be inherited, even if there are no previous conditions in the family.

Thanks to the Adventia test, parents-to-be can find out about possible genetic risks in advance and - if necessary - consult a geneticist, carry out additional tests (e.g. prenatal tests) and, above all, make informed and responsible decisions about planning their pregnancy.

Who is the Adventia test for?

The Adventia test is intended for anyone who wants to take an informed approach to family planning and take care of the health of their future child, it is particularly recommended in certain situations and can be performed by anyone interested in their genetic profile.

The Adventia study is worth considering if:

  • you are planning a pregnancy;

  • you use assisted reproduction techniques (e.g. in vitro),

  • you are a donor or recipient of reproductive cells (ova or sperm),

  • there is a history of genetic diseases in your family,

  • you want to know your genetic carrier profile, even if you have no symptoms or family history.

Taking the Adventia test is a responsible step - whether you are planning a pregnancy now, in the future or simply want to better understand your genetic health. Knowing early can help you make wise, calm decisions.

Why choose the Adventia test?

  • Early detection of risk. The test identifies gene alterations that do not produce symptoms in the parents, but can lead to serious diseases in the child.

  • Conscious family planning. The result of the test helps to make informed decisions about the way forward: from genetic consultation, to prenatal diagnosis, to the choice of form of treatment.

  • A chance for earlier treatment and care. In some cases, early diagnosis makes it possible to plan appropriate treatment or medical care as soon as the child is born.

  • Peace of mind and reassurance. For many couples, the test result is an important piece of information that provides a sense of security and better preparation for their role as parents.

Adventia is not just research - it is a conscious step towards a healthy and responsible future.

The Adventia test combines the latest advances in genetics with a practical concern for the health of future generations. Thanks to the use of modern technology, this test is not only extremely precise, but also completely safe and comfortable for the patient.

Advantages of the Adventia test

Key benefits of the Adventia study:

  • Advanced NGS technology (next generation sequencing) - enables the simultaneous analysis of hundreds of genes, making it possible to detect even very rare genetic mutations with high accuracy.

  • Target Capture Enrichment (DNA) - The test focuses on well-defined, clinically relevant fragments of the genome, which increases the efficiency and reliability of the analysis.

  • Modern bioinformatics methods - genetic data are interpreted using advanced algorithms, which minimises the risk of error and ensures the reliability of the result.

  • High sensitivity and specificity - the test has a very high accuracy, which means that false positives or false negatives are rare.

  • Full coverage of the genes analysed - This means that all regions of the genes included in the test are thoroughly checked, with no 'gaps' in the analysis.

The Adventia test is one of the most comprehensive and reliable carrier tests available on the market today. It provides reliable information that can be crucial to a child's health and parents' peace of mind.

Benefits of the Adventia test

The Adventia study is not only state-of-the-art technology, but above all real support in making informed and responsible decisions about a child's future.

What do you gain by choosing Adventia?

  • Wide range of diseases studied.

    The test involves the analysis of up to 231 genes, which allows the detection of a wide range of hereditary conditions - including those that are rare but serious in their consequences.

  • Full gene analysis.
    Thanks to the comprehensive coverage of all the gene fragments analysed, the test result is accurate and reliable - with no missed spots.

  • Sound knowledge - greater peace of mind.

    The test result not only informs, but also helps to make concrete decisions - from planning further diagnostics to choosing the best path of medical care.

  • Support every step of the way.

    If necessary, a consultation with a clinical geneticist is available to help understand the result and plan the next steps - calmly and in confidence.

How to conduct the Adventia test?

The Adventia test is completely safe, painless and very simple to perform. No special preparations are required and the whole procedure takes place in a few steps. Depending on the variant of the test, it can be carried out individually or as a couple with a partner.

What does it look like to conduct an Adeventia test?

Shipping to the laboratory

The sample collected is sent to a laboratory, where it undergoes detailed genetic analysis using state-of-the-art technology.

Waiting for the result

The waiting time for the test result is usually around 2-3 weeks.

Once the analysis is completed, the patient receives a clear and understandable report, which they can consult with a geneticist to discuss the results and answer any questions.
