Identifying genetic causes of infertility facilitates informed decisions and family planning for your patients. With 10% of infertility cases being linked to genetic factors, their detection can provide vital answers. Genetic testing can be the key for a significant number of infertile couples trying to have children, as understanding the reason for infertility can often lead to success with a range of assisted reproductive techniques.

Validation of a Semiconductor Next-Generation Sequencing Assay for the Clinical Genetic Screening of CFTR
Genetic testing for cystic fibrosis and CFTR-related disorders mostly relies on laborious molecular tools that use Sanger sequencing to scan for mutations in the CFTR gene. We have explored a more efficient genetic screening strategy based on next-generation sequencing of the CFTR gene.
