Carrier Genetic testing:

Carrier genetic screening is a type of genetic testing that is used to identify individuals who carry a genetic mutation for a specific genetic disorder, even if they do not exhibit any symptoms of the disorder themselves. The purpose of carrier screening is to identify people who are at risk of passing on a genetic disorder to their offspring, so that they can make informed decisions about family planning. Carrier screening is typically offered to individuals who are planning to have children, or who are of childbearing age, and is often recommended for certain ethnic groups or families with a history of genetic disorders. Carrier testing can be done for a single disorder or for multiple disorders at once using a panel test. It is important to understand that genetic testing is a complex topic and before undergoing testing the couple should definitely seek genetic counseling.
