Order Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Testing | CF TestCystic fibrosis carrier testing examines a blood sample for the most common mutations in the CFTR gene, the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis. Because CF is an inherited condition, understanding carrier status can clarify whether a person carries a mutation that could be passed to a child.
About Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Testing | CF Test in Charlotte
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, and it is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
A person who inherits one altered copy of the CFTR gene is a carrier and typically does not develop cystic fibrosis, though they can pass the altered gene to their children.
When two carriers have a child, each pregnancy carries a one-in-four chance that the child inherits two altered copies and is affected by cystic fibrosis.
This test targets the most common CF mutations, so a negative result reduces but does not entirely eliminate the possibility of being a carrier, because rarer mutations may not be included.
