Additional Technical Information

Ordering Recommendation

Carrier screening for cystic fibrosis (CF), fragile X syndrome (FXS), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Not recommended for men, as FXS carrier screening is not indicated. Do not use for diagnostic testing in patients with symptoms of CF, FXS or SMA. For CF carrier screening alone, refer to Cystic Fibrosis (CFTR) Expanded Variant Panel (2013661). For SMA carrier screening alone, refer to Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Copy Number Analysis (2013436). For FXS carrier screening alone, refer to Fragile X (FMR1) with Reflex to Methylation Analysis (2009033).
