3. What is Carrier Screening?
Genes provide instructions for the body to grow, function, and repair itself. Sometimes mutations in these genes, if inherited by a child, can cause genetic disease and can significantly impact their health and well- being.
Learning about an individual’s genes can help make decisions about one’s family’s health. For each of the 129 conditions on this carrier test, a patient will be identified as either:
Carrier - indicating an increased risk
Non-Carrier - indicating a significantly decreased risk.
Carriers usually do not have any symptoms and may not have any family history of the condition they carry, making screening important for everyone.
Emphasize preparation – family planning
Others areas of interest - egg/sperm donation & adoption
