About carrier screening
Who is carrier screening for?
Individuals or couples planning a family, including those considering assisted reproduction, can discuss whether carrier screening is appropriate for them.
Can a healthy person be a carrier?
Yes. People can carry a genetic change without knowing it. Its significance depends on the condition and pattern of inheritance.
Does a negative result remove every risk?
No. Carrier screening covers selected genes and changes. A negative result reduces the chance of the conditions tested but does not exclude all genetic conditions.
What happens if a change is found?
Discuss the result with your healthcare professional or a genetic counsellor, who can explain the implications and any appropriate partner testing or reproductive options.
