The Fertility Partners Inc. Acquires Significant Minority Interest in Sequence46 Genetic Testing Laboratory

TORONTO, Sept. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - The Fertility Partners ("TFP") announced today that it has partnered with leading genetic testing laboratory Sequence46 in Los Angeles, California. This investment significantly expands the comprehensive services offered by its Canada-wide network of fertility clinics in the pursuit of global best IVF clinical outcomes and the healthiest babies.

The Fertility Partners works with world-class fertility clinics, providing access to shared medical, strategic and operational best practices, promoting research and development activities and offering extensive back-office support. Its goal is to foster global best clinical outcomes, an international reputation for excellence, and exceptional patient and employee experiences. The TFP partner model empowers physicians and their teams to focus on doing what they do best- provide the highest quality fertility medicine and patient services.

Says TFP's Founder, CEO & Executive Chairman Dr. Andrew Meikle, "we are very excited to partner with Catherine Welch and Sequence46, who align with our values and clinical objectives. With their evidence-based technology, we can improve the chance of pregnancy, reduce the risk of miscarriage, be more confident in transferring a single embryo (thereby avoiding health risks associated with twin or triplet pregnancies) and reduce the number of IVF cycles needed to achieve pregnancy. We see clear advantages for our patients in potentially reducing the time to pregnancy and the costs of extra cycles for our patients."

Catherine Welch, Founder and CEO of Sequence46 (S46), states, "we are thrilled for The Fertility Partners to join the Sequence46 family as we continue to grow genetic testing in the Canadian market. The leadership of The Fertility Partners is well respected, and we look forward to working closely with them.
