98039-1
LaboratoryPreconception AndOr prenatal carrier screening multigene 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. Common conditions screened for include cystic fibrosis (CF, CFTR gene), Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD, DMD gene), fragile X syndrome (FXS, FMR1 gene), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA, SMN1 gene).
