About Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Testing | CF Test in Springfield
Carrier testing looks beyond symptoms to the underlying genetic picture.
Cystic fibrosis follows an autosomal recessive pattern. A person with one altered copy of the CFTR gene is a carrier and typically has no related health problems, while a person with two altered copies may develop the condition.
Because carrier status is not visible in everyday health, genetic testing is the direct way to identify it. This panel focuses on a defined set of common mutations rather than sequencing the entire gene.
Results are interpreted in the context of family history and other clinical information. A negative result reduces but does not eliminate the chance of being a carrier, since rare variants may fall outside the tested set.
