FAQS

Quick answers to common questions

What is Genetic Carrier Screening?
Genetic Carrier Screening is a test that identifies whether an individual carries gene mutations associated with inherited genetic disorders that could be passed on to their children, even if the carrier has no symptoms.
How early in pregnancy can NIPT be performed?
Yes. While one partner is often tested first, screening both partners provides the most complete risk assessment—especially if one partner is identified as a carrier.
When is the best time to have Genetic Carrier Screening?
The ideal time is before pregnancy, but the test can also be performed during early pregnancy to support informed decision-making.
What happens if I am identified as a carrier?
Being a carrier does not mean you have the disease. If both partners carry the same genetic condition, a healthcare provider or genetic counselor will discuss further testing options and reproductive choices.
