About Prenatal Carrier Screening Test | Inherited in Gilbert
This blood test panel screens for carrier status of three prenatal diseases: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Fragile X Syndrome, and Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by changes in the SMN1 gene and affects motor neurons, leading to progressive muscle weakness. Most affected individuals inherit the condition when both parents carry a gene change.
Fragile X syndrome results from changes in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome and is a common inherited cause of intellectual disability. Carrier status is relevant for both men and women, though the pattern of inheritance differs.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by changes in the CFTR gene and affects the lungs and digestive system. Carrier screening can identify individuals who may pass a gene change to their children.
