What this test is

This panel tests for carrier status of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Fragile X Syndrome, and Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Being a carrier means you have a gene change for a condition but do not have the condition yourself. However, you could pass the gene change to your child.

What it measures

  • Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Carrier Status — reflects the likelihood of carrying a gene change for SMA
  • Fragile X Syndrome Carrier Status — reflects the likelihood of carrying a gene change for Fragile X
  • Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Carrier Status — reflects the likelihood of carrying a gene change for CF

What the test involves

A sample is collected through a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm. The collected blood is then sent to the laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians often order this test for individuals planning a pregnancy or who are currently pregnant. It helps assess the risk of having a child with certain genetic conditions.

Preparation

No specific preparation is usually needed for this test. You should follow any specific instructions provided by the laboratory collecting your sample.
