- Prenatal Core Carrier Screening Panel
- Description
This panel is composed of the following tests:
1. Cystic fibrosis DNA screen (Lab Code: CFDNA)
2. Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Carrier Test (Sendout) Lab Code: RSMACT)
3. Hb Disorder Thalassemia Carrier Screen (Lab Code: HBTHCS) with reflex to alpha globin gene analysis (Lab Code: AGGA), &/or Alpha Hemoglobin DNA Sequence (Lab Code: HASEQ), &/or Beta Hemoglobin DNA Sequence (Lab Code: HBSEQ) if clinically indicated
4. CBC (Hemogram)
Please see the individual test components for further information.
ADVISORY: This panel is for reproductive carrier screening ONLY. For other situations, order individual tests. Do not deselect any components! CBC is required for Hemoglobinopathy/Thalassemia testing. Furthermore, if Cystic Fibrosis testing is deselected, reflex genetic testing for Hemoglobinopathies/Thalassemias will NOT be performed even if indicated.
Test codes to screen for individual conditions:
Cystic Fibrosis = CFDNA
Spinal Muscular Atrophy = RSMACT
Hemoglobinopathies/Thalassemias = HBTHLI (includes HBTHAL and CBC)

Interpretation
- Method
Testing for carrier status for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Cystic Fibrosis, thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies (see HBTHAL or HBTHLI full descriptions). If clinically indicated based on thalassemia/hemoglobinopathy testing, samples will reflex to alpha globin deletion testing (PCR-based deletion analysis), Alpha globin gene sequencing, and/or Beta globin gene sequencing (see AGGA, HASEQ, HBSEQ full descriptions).
