Order Prenatal Carrier Screening Test | InheritedCarrier screening is a type of genetic testing that can reveal whether a person carries a gene change associated with a specific inherited condition. This prenatal carrier test panel screens for carrier status of three conditions: spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), fragile X syndrome, and cystic fibrosis (CF).
About Prenatal Carrier Screening Test | Inherited in Conway
Understanding carrier status helps clarify inherited risk before or during pregnancy.
Carrier screening looks for changes in genes that are linked to inherited disorders. A carrier typically has one altered copy of a gene and one working copy, which is often enough to prevent symptoms. Because carriers usually do not have signs of the condition, testing is the only way to know carrier status.
This panel covers three distinct conditions. Spinal muscular atrophy affects motor neurons and muscle function. Fragile X syndrome is associated with intellectual and developmental differences. Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs and digestive system. Each condition follows a specific inheritance pattern, and carrier status for one does not imply carrier status for another.
Results are reported as positive or negative for carrier status of each condition on the panel. A positive result means an altered gene copy was detected; a negative result means one was not detected. Genetic counseling can help interpret results and explain what they mean for family planning.
