Genotype screening plays a pivotal role in  the prevention of hereditary disorders,  notably sickle cell disease, particularly  among adolescents. Early identification of  genetic status facilitates informed health,  reproductive, and marital decisions. This  study investigated the level of knowledge  and uptake of genotype screening among  Undergraduate Students of Lagos State  University of education. A descriptive cross-  sectional study design was employed,  utilizing a structured, researcher-developed  questionnaire divided into five sections.  Data were collected from 149 undergraduate  students and analyzed using SPSS version  26. Results were presented using descriptive  statistics, including tables, frequencies, and  percentages. Findings indicated that 81.2%  of respondents (n=121) were aware of  genotype screening, with the school  identified as the main source of information.  However,  65.1% (n=97) erroneously  equated genotype screening with blood  group  testing,  reflecting  notable  misconceptions. The uptake of genotype  screening, as reported by 77.2% of  respondents, was largely influenced by  factors such as family support, peer  influence, and access to healthcare services.  Chi-square analysis revealed no statistically  significant association between age and  knowledge level (p > 0.05), nor between  awareness and familiarity with genotype  screening (p > 0.05). The study recommends  the integration of genotype education into  the university curriculum. In addition,  collaborative efforts among healthcare  professionals, educators, and parents are  essential to dispel misconceptions and  enhance the uptake of genotype screening  among the youths.
