When two parents are carriers of the same genetic condition, each child has a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of having that autosomal recessive condition. Depending on the urgency of the results for the couple, individuals may wish to start with one member of the couple, and, if identified as a carrier of a genetic condition, then proceed with the other member of the couple. Sometimes, there may be provincial funding available to cover genetic testing for the other member of the couple. For individuals requiring urgent information, couples may wish to get screened at the same time to have a combined report that lists reproductive risk (chance of having an affected child) in a rapid 2-3 week turnaround.  Each partner will require an individual requisition, and will submit separate samples.
