Quick answer
Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Testing looks for inherited variants associated with conditions that occur more often in people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Being a carrier usually means a person has one copy of a variant and does not have the condition, but can pass the variant to a child. Testing is often done before or during family planning. A qualified healthcare provider or genetic counselor interprets the results.
What this test measures
Some inherited conditions are more common in specific populations because of historical patterns. In people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, carrier screening panels may include conditions such as Tay-Sachs disease, Gaucher disease, Canavan disease, and cystic fibrosis, among others. Screening panels are chosen based on current guidance.
A carrier has one changed copy of a gene and typically no symptoms. If both partners carry a variant in the same gene, each pregnancy has a chance of being affected, which is why results are usually discussed for both partners together. Most carriers are identified only through testing, since they feel well.
The sample for carrier testing is usually a blood or saliva sample. Results may show that someone is a carrier, not a carrier, or a variant of uncertain significance. A qualified healthcare provider or genetic counselor can explain what each result means for family planning and whether additional testing is recommended.
