Family Planning and Carrier Screening
Thinking about growing your family? MyHeritage DNA 360° can reveal genetic variants you may carry and factors related to reproductive hormones, helping you better understand what you could pass on to your children.
What your DNA results can help you do
Your results can provide valuable information before or during your family-planning journey, from conditions you may carry to genetic factors related to reproductive hormones.
Learn about conditions you may carry
Discover whether you carry genetic variants associated with certain inherited conditions, even if you have no symptoms or family history.
Better understand potential risks to your children
Learn what your results could mean for a future child and discuss appropriate next steps with a healthcare provider or genetic counselor.
Gain insight into your reproductive health
Learn how your genes may influence reproductive hormones involved in fertility and family planning.

Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome
Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare, inherited disorder that affects the nervous system, immune system, and other body systems.
Bioavailable Testosterone
Free blood testosterone and the one weakly bound to albumin constitute bioavailable testosterone. This fraction of testosterone (roughly 50%) can enter tissues and cause health effects.
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPT II) deficiency is a condition that prevents the body from using certain fats for energy, particularly during periods without food. There are three main types of CPT II deficiency: a lethal neonatal form, a severe infantile hepatocardiomuscular form, and a myopathic form.
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis, also called CF, causes thick mucus buildup that can damage many of the body's organs. The severity of the disease varies based on the pathogenic variant causing it.
DHEAS Levels
DHEA is a steroid hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands. The majority of DHEA gets quickly converted into DHEA sulfate (DHEAS).
Estradiol Levels (Male)
Estradiol is a type of estrogen. Estrogens are sex hormones that maintain sexual and reproductive health.
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF)
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an inherited condition that causes painful inflammation in the abdomen, chest, or joints.
Female infertility
About 1 in 10 American women have fertility problems. These problems become more common as women get older, even before menopause.
Galactosemia
Galactosemia is an inherited disorder that affects how the body processes a sugar called galactose. A small amount of galactose is present in many foods.
Glycogen storage disease type 1A
Glycogen storage disease type I (also known as GSDI or von Gierke disease) is an inherited disorder caused by the buildup of a complex sugar called glycogen in the body's cells. The accumulation of glycogen in certain organs and tissues, especially the liver, kidneys, and small intestines, impairs their ability to function normally.
Hereditary fructose intolerance
Hereditary fructose intolerance is a genetic condition that affects a person's ability to digest the sugar fructose.
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2D
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy is a term for a group of diseases that cause weakness and wasting of the muscles in the arms and legs. The muscles most affected are those closest to the body (proximal muscles), specifically the muscles of the shoulders, upper arms, pelvic area, and thighs.
Mucolipidosis type IV (ML4)
Mucolipidosis type IV is a lysosomal storage disorder that causes developmental delays and vision loss.
Nonsyndromic hearing loss (connexin 26)
Hearing loss due to a connexin 26 deficiency is a partial or total loss of hearing that is not associated with other signs and symptoms.
Pregnenolone Levels
Pregnenolone is a steroid hormone derived from cholesterol. It helps make different hormones, including cortisol, aldosterone, and sex steroid hormones.
Prolactin Levels
Prolactin is a hormone with key roles in fertility and reproduction. It stimulates the production of breast milk (lactation) and enhances motherly behavior.
SHBG Levels
SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) is a protein made in the liver that binds to sex hormones and helps transport them in the blood. Hence, SHBG controls the levels of sex hormones.
Tay-Sachs disease
Tay-Sachs is a progressive disease that destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
Tyrosinemia type I
Tyrosinemia is a genetic disorder that results from the body's inability to break down the amino acid tyrosine, a building block of most proteins.
Usher syndrome, type 3
Usher syndrome is a condition characterized by partial or total hearing loss and vision loss that gets worse over time. The hearing loss is classified as sensorineural, which means that it is caused by abnormalities of the inner ear.
Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2
Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that results from defects in the cilia of body cells. These structures are involved in chemical pathways and cellular movement.
Canavan disease
Canavan disease damages the ability of nerve cells in the brain to send and receive messages. This disease is one of a group of genetic disorders called leukodystrophies.
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT)
Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT) is an extremely rare genetic disorder that causes a severe drop in (bone marrow cells) and platelets leading to bone marrow failure.
Dermatosparaxis Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (dEDS)
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited disorders that affect the connective tissues that support the skin, bones, blood vessels, and many other organs and tissues.
DHT Levels
Dihydrotestosterone is a bio-marker crucial for male sexual development. Imbalances can lead to baldness, prostate issues, and acne. It's derived from testosterone.
Familial dysautonomia
Familial dysautonomia affects the development and survival of nerve cells in the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary actions such as digestion, breathing, production of tears, and the regulation of blood pressure and body temperature. It also affects the sensory nervous system, which controls senses like taste and feeling pain, heat, and cold.
Fanconi anemia
Fanconi anemia is a blood disorder caused by impaired bone marrow function that leads to decreased production of all blood cells.
FSH Levels
Follicle-stimulating hormone or FSH is a crucial hormone for reproduction, released by the pituitary gland. Low FSH levels may be caused by issues with the pituitary or the hypothalamus.
Gaucher disease
Gaucher disease affects many of the body's organs and tissues. Researchers have described several types of Gaucher disease based on their characteristic features.
GRACILE syndrome
GRACILE syndrome is a severe disorder that begins before birth.
Joubert syndrome 2
Joubert syndrome is a disorder of brain development that affects many parts of the body. The signs and symptoms of this condition vary, even among members of the same family.
Male infertility
It's fairly normal for it to take a while for a couple to achieve a successful pregnancy. However, one or both people may be infertile if there is no successful pregnancy after a year of trying.
Niemann-Pick disease, types A and B
Niemann-Pick disease is a condition that affects many body systems. Niemann-Pick disease is divided into four main types: type A, type B, type C1, and type C2.
PMM2-congenital disorder of glycosylation
PMM2-congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG) is an inherited condition that affects many parts of the body. The type and severity of problems associated with PMM2-CDG vary widely among affected individuals, sometimes even among members of the same family.
Progesterone Levels
A reproductive hormone influencing the menstrual cycle and sperm development, vital for both genders' reproductive health.
Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata, type 1
Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata is a condition that impairs the normal development of many parts of the body. The major features of this disorder include skeletal abnormalities, distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, and respiratory problems.
Sickle cell anemia
Sickle cell anemia is a disease in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells that have a crescent or sickle shape. These cells do not live as long as normal red blood cells, causing an overall decrease in the number of red blood cells in the body.
Testosterone Levels
Testosterone is the major male sex hormone. It is mainly produced in the testes and helps men develop masculine features like increased muscle mass and body hair.
Usher syndrome, type 2A
Usher syndrome is a condition that causes deafness and progressive vision loss.
