98038-3
LaboratoryCFTR and FMR1 (CGG repeat) and SMN1 gene mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
Reproductive carrier screening is performed during preconception or prenatally to determine the risk for passing on serious inherited genetic conditions to a child. Most carrier screening is for recessive disorders. This test includes screening for the following conditions: cystic fibrosis (CF, CFTR gene), fragile X (FXS, FMR1 gene), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA, SMN1 gene).
