Order Prenatal Carrier Screening Test | InheritedCarrier screening is a form of genetic testing that can reveal whether a person carries a gene change associated with a recessive or X-linked condition, even when that person has no symptoms. This panel focuses on three inherited conditions that can affect a child's health: spinal muscular atrophy, fragile X syndrome, and cystic fibrosis.
About Prenatal Carrier Screening Test | Inherited in Clovis
Carrier screening examines specific genes to determine whether a person carries a mutation that could be passed to a child.
Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by changes in the SMN1 gene and affects motor neurons, leading to progressive muscle weakness. Fragile X syndrome results from an expansion in the FMR1 gene and is a common inherited cause of intellectual disability. Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene and affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs.
For a recessive condition, a child must inherit a gene change from both parents to be affected. For an X-linked condition such as fragile X syndrome, the inheritance pattern differs, and carrier status can have implications for both sons and daughters. Screening results are reported as positive or negative for each condition included in the panel.
A positive carrier result does not mean a person has the condition. It indicates that the individual carries one altered copy of a gene and may have a chance of having an affected child if their partner also carries a change in the same gene. Genetic counseling is often recommended to interpret results and discuss reproductive options.
