Quick answer
The Prenatal Carrier Screening Panel is a blood test that looks for carrier status of three inherited conditions: spinal muscular atrophy, Fragile X syndrome, and cystic fibrosis. A carrier typically has one altered copy of a gene and usually does not have symptoms, but can pass the altered copy to a child. The panel provides information that people and their healthcare providers can use when discussing reproductive planning and further testing options.
About this test in McCrory
Spinal muscular atrophy is associated with changes in the SMN1 gene, and carrier testing typically measures SMN1 copy number. Fragile X syndrome is linked to expansions of a CGG repeat in the FMR1 gene, which are sized during testing. Cystic fibrosis is caused by variants in the CFTR gene, and testing usually combines variant analysis with sequencing and deletion or duplication studies, depending on the laboratory.
Only a blood sample is required for this panel, and the laboratory analyzes the relevant genes for each condition. Because different techniques are used for each gene, the report is organized by condition and may include a carrier status interpretation plus a residual risk estimate when one is provided. Detection varies by condition and by the specific variants a person carries.
People may order carrier screening before or during pregnancy, or when there is a family history of one of these conditions. It can also be done when a partner's carrier status is known. Genetic counselors and qualified healthcare providers can explain results, discuss what they mean for family planning, and arrange additional testing when appropriate.
