CARRIER SCREENING TEST
Screens for inherited genetic conditions
Carrier screening is a genetic test to determine if a healthy person is a carrier of a genetic disorder.
People can be carriers of a mutation without realising it. Carriers may not have a family history or symptoms of a genetic disorder. Every carrier has a risk of passing on the abnormal copy of the gene to the next generation and the child of a carrier couple could be born with a genetic disorder. Carrier screening is the only way to determine carrier disorders.
