When this may be useful
One genetic layer, placed in the full picture.
Pregnancy loss has many possible causes. This panel focuses on rare reproductive-gene findings while keeping chromosome testing, standard evaluations, and your clinical history in view.
After recurrent loss
Look beyond a chromosome count.
When loss has happened more than once—especially after typical chromosome findings—a reproductive-gene screen can examine a different genetic layer alongside the standard evaluation.
Unexplained infertility
Review genes involved in fertility and early development.
The panel may add context when common evaluations have not fully explained difficulty conceiving, fertilization failure, or early embryo arrest.
Before pregnancy
Screen reproductive genes alongside carrier testing.
People planning a pregnancy can use the panel as a separate reproductive-gene layer while keeping routine carrier screening and clinician-guided care in place.

Read the walkthrough summary
- Start with the report summary: it highlights the findings most relevant to the couple’s history without treating them as a diagnosis.
- Compare each partner’s results, then open an individual finding to see the evidence, inheritance pattern, and plain-language interpretation.
- Use Christina’s counselor note to separate the result that may help explain the losses from lower-risk carrier information.
- Bring the result and suggested next steps to a reproductive genetics specialist or genetic counselor for decisions specific to your history.

Genetic counselor review
Christina's counselor note
Reviewed by Christina, Genetic Counselor
Your report found a change in TUBB8, a gene that helps eggs mature and supports the embryo’s earliest development. Findings like this can sometimes help explain repeated early losses that standard chromosome testing misses.
Nothing about how you tried to conceive caused these losses.
Your care team can use this information to discuss next steps with you.

Evidence and boundaries
Know what question each test answers.
Reticular's reviewed patient resources explain how reproductive-gene screening differs from chromosome testing, carrier screening, and the broader recurrent-loss evaluation.
Common questions
It screens one or both intended parents across 750+ genes associated with fertility, early embryo development, and recurrent pregnancy loss. It analyzes a saliva sample from the parent or parents, not an embryo or a prior pregnancy.
Not in every case. A well-supported finding may identify a reproductive-gene factor worth discussing with your care team, but the panel does not explain most individual losses, diagnose a cause, or predict whether a future pregnancy will succeed.
A karyotype examines chromosome number and structure. Carrier screening primarily asks whether a future child could inherit certain conditions. This panel examines individual reproductive genes associated with fertility and pregnancy viability, so the tests answer different questions and may be used alongside one another.
No. The panel does not replace pregnancy-tissue testing, parental karyotyping, carrier screening, or evaluation of uterine, hormonal, clotting, immune, and other possible contributors to recurrent loss.
Either option is available. Screening both partners provides a combined view of each person’s reproductive-gene findings. A genetic counselor can help you decide which option fits your history and any testing you have already completed.
A negative result means the panel did not identify a reportable finding under its current methods and evidence standards. It does not rule out every genetic factor or other possible reason for infertility or pregnancy loss.
Yes. A genetic counselor helps place the report in context, explains what a finding does and does not mean, and helps you prepare questions for your fertility clinician or other care team.
A human next step
Talk through what the panel could—and could not—answer for you.
A complimentary conversation can help you compare this panel with testing you have already completed and decide whether ordering now makes sense.
Already have embryo data?
Reticular also offers embryo reports that use compatible PGT-A data you already have, with no new embryo biopsy.
