Expanded Carrier Screening

In addition to our Gene Access Carrier Screening for CF, SMA, and FXS, at Clinical Labs, we also offer two expanded carrier screening options for individuals who want a broadened assessment of their risk of having a child with a genetic condition.

 

Comprehensive Carrier Screening

Clinical Labs offers a comprehensive test that involves screening up to 460 genes, which is appropriate for individuals of all ethnicities who want an expanded assessment of their risk of having a child with a genetic condition. Comprehensive Carrier Screening evaluates an individual’s carrier status for more than 100 inherited conditions.

Our Comprehensive Carrier Screening includes:
 

  • Screening for 100+ inherited conditions, including up to 460 genes

  • Over 90% of conditions recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)

  • Genetic conditions which are more common in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry

  • Serious childhood-onset conditions, some of which appear on newborn screening

  • Enhanced testing, including full gene sequencing with deletion and duplication analysis leading to a 99% detection rate for most genes
  • Actionable results; no reporting of variants of unknown significance

Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Screening

Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Screening is a test that can determine whether your patient is a carrier of any of the eight genetic conditions that are more common in people of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Importantly, being a carrier of one of these eight conditions does not impact your patient’s own health, but it may increase the likelihood of having a child affected by the condition.

Our Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Screening includes:
 

  • Tay–Sachs disease
  • Canavan disease
  • Niemann–Pick disease
  • Bloom syndrome
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Fanconi anaemia
  • Familial dysautonomia
  • Mucolipidosis IV
