Order Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Testing | ScreenAshkenazi Jewish carrier testing is a laboratory screen that looks for genetic changes associated with several inherited conditions more common in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

About Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Testing | Screen in Gurnee
Carrier testing identifies individuals who carry one altered copy of a gene but typically do not show symptoms of the associated condition.
Each of the four conditions screened is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning a child must inherit an altered gene copy from both parents to be affected. Carriers have one altered copy and one typical copy, and they usually remain healthy.
Canavan disease affects the brain and nervous system, cystic fibrosis affects the lungs and digestive system, familial dysautonomia affects the autonomic nervous system, and Tay-Sachs disease affects nerve cells. The screen evaluates genetic markers linked to each of these conditions.
Results are reported as positive or negative for carrier status for each condition. A positive result indicates that a person carries one altered copy of the gene, while a negative result indicates that no common alteration was detected. Genetic counseling can help interpret results in the context of family planning.
