Why Is Carrier Genetic Testing Required Before Purchasing Donor Eggs?

Carrier Genetic Testing (CGT) is a very important step before selecting donor eggs. If you are planning to choose eggs from the Lucina Egg Bank, you may notice that some egg donors carry certain single-gene mutations. While these genetic mutations typically do not affect the donor’s own health, it is essential that you also undergo genetic screening.
The reason is that if both you and the selected egg donor happen to carry the same gene mutation, there will be a 25% chance that the resulting embryo may be affected by the associated genetic condition. To avoid this risk of genetic matching, genetic screening must be completed before selecting an egg donor. This ensures that the donor you choose is genetically compatible with you, safeguarding the health of your future child.
