Order Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Testing | CF TestCystic fibrosis is an inherited condition caused by variants in the CFTR gene, and carrier testing examines a blood sample for a defined set of the most common mutations. This test is designed to help clarify affected or carrier status for the 32 most frequently observed CF mutations.
About Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Testing | CF Test in Ann Arbor
Cystic fibrosis carrier testing looks for specific CFTR gene mutations that can be passed from parent to child.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning a child must inherit a CFTR mutation from each parent to be affected. A person with one mutated copy is a carrier and typically does not have symptoms.
This panel targets the 32 most common CF mutations, which account for a substantial share of CF cases in many populations. Because not every possible mutation is included, a negative result reduces but does not eliminate the chance of being a carrier.
Results are usually reported as positive or negative for the mutations tested. A positive result indicates that one or more of the targeted mutations were detected, while a negative result means none of the 32 mutations were found.
