Fragile X screening with HorizonTM

Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited cause of intellectual differences. Carriers can also experience symptoms, such as infertility, diminished ovarian reserve, and shortened reproductive life span.


Carrier screening for fragile X can identify your patients’ risk of having an affected child and provide insight into their own health. Horizon provides an accurate fragile X risk assessment.

Catch a Sneak Peek of Vanessa’s Story

In this 2-minute video, Vanessa explains how she was able to have the big family she always dreamt of, even after learning that she is a carrier of fragile X.

“We knew each child I was going to have [could] have this same disorder. When we found out about PGT, it was a game changer. PGT gave us the dream of a big family back.”
