About Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Testing | Screen in La Quinta
This panel evaluates carrier status for four inherited conditions selected for their higher prevalence in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
Canavan disease is a neurological disorder caused by variants in the ASPA gene. It typically presents in infancy with developmental delay, loss of motor skills, and macrocephaly. Carriers do not develop the disease but can pass the variant to their children.
Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs and digestive system and is caused by variants in the CFTR gene. Symptoms vary widely, from mild to severe, and may include persistent respiratory infections, poor growth, and salty-tasting skin. Carrier testing identifies individuals who carry one altered copy of the gene.
Familial dysautonomia is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system caused by variants in the IKBKAP gene. It affects the development and survival of sensory and autonomic neurons, leading to symptoms such as poor suck, excessive sweating, and cardiovascular instability. Tay-Sachs disease results from variants in the HEXA gene and causes progressive destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, with the classic infantile form appearing in early infancy.
