CARRIER SCREENING
WHAT IS CARRIER SCREENING?
Carrier screening is a type of genetic test that helps identify whether you carry a gene for certain inherited health conditions. While carriers typically don’t have symptoms themselves, they can pass on the gene to their children.
WHY CONSIDER SCREENING BEFORE PREGNANCY?
Many people are carriers of genetic conditions without knowing it. Screening before pregnancy allows couples to understand their potential risks of having a child with a genetic disorder, make informed reproductive choices, and explore options such as IVF with genetic testing, egg or sperm donation, or early prenatal diagnosis and management.
WHO SHOULD GET SCREENED?
Carrier screening is recommended for all individuals or couples who are planning a pregnancy, regardless of family history or ethnicity. Some tests are tailored based on personal or family background, but many modern panels screen for hundreds of conditions at once.
