Order Prenatal Carrier Screening Test | InheritedPrenatal carrier screening is a blood test that examines whether a person carries gene changes associated with certain inherited conditions. Carrying a change does not mean a person has the condition; it means they could pass the change to a child. This panel focuses on three conditions: spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), fragile X syndrome, and cystic fibrosis (CF).
About Prenatal Carrier Screening Test | Inherited in Pittsburg
Understanding carrier status can inform reproductive decisions and family planning.
Carrier screening looks for specific gene variants linked to inherited disorders. For SMA, the test typically assesses the SMN1 gene; for fragile X syndrome, it examines the FMR1 gene; and for CF, it evaluates the CFTR gene.
Most carriers have no symptoms because a single working copy of the gene is usually enough for typical health. Two carriers of the same condition have a chance of having an affected child with each pregnancy.
Results are reported as positive (a carrier change was found) or negative (no common change was found). A negative result reduces but does not eliminate the chance of being a carrier, since testing covers the most common variants.
