Carriers typically have no symptoms, but they can pass a variant to their children.
About Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Testing | Screen in La Mirada
Carrier screening is a way to learn about reproductive risk before it becomes a medical concern.
Each of the four conditions is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. A child is affected only when both parents carry a variant in the same gene and each passes that variant on.
Carriers usually have one working copy of the gene and one altered copy, which is enough to prevent symptoms in the carrier. Because carriers feel well, testing is the only reliable way to know carrier status.
The panel looks for specific variants that are well documented in Ashkenazi Jewish populations. A negative result reduces the chance of being a carrier but does not eliminate it, since testing covers the most common variants rather than every possible change in these genes.
