What is Carrier Screening?
Carrier screening looks at your DNA to determine if you are a carrier of any autosomal recessive conditions (such as cystic fibrosis) or X-linked conditions (such as fragile X). Carriers are generally healthy and typically don’t show symptoms. However, if both reproductive partners are carriers of the same condition, there is a risk their baby could be affected by it.
Two reproductive partners who both carry the same autosomal recessive condition have a 25% chance of having a child affected by that condition. With X-linked conditions, if the mother is a carrier, there is a 50% chance that male children will be affected by that condition.
What is the NxGen MDx Informed Prenatal Screen?
It is a non-invasive prenatal screen (NIPS) that analyzes small amounts of DNA from your baby’s placenta known as cell-free DNA which are present in your blood. This screen detects if your baby has either too many or too few chromosomes (known as an aneuploidy) that could lead to a health issue. NIPS is considered to be appropriate for all pregnant women with a singleton or twin pregnancy regardless of age or personal history.
What is Hereditary Cancer Testing?
While cancer is typically considered to be caused by a combination of biological, environmental and lifestyle factors, there is another component: genetic variants (changes in a gene) that you may have inherited from your parents.
Your personal and family history of cancer can help you determine whether or not hereditary cancer testing might be right for you. Examples of a strong personal family history of cancer can include cancer at an early age, diagnosis of specific cancers, the presence of rare cancers, multiple relatives with the same type of cancer, or one relative diagnosed with multiple primary cancers.
