Carrier testing information


Carrier testing is a type of genetic testing that is used to determine if a person is a carrier for specific autosomal recessive diseases.[1] This kind of testing is used most often by couples who are considering becoming pregnant to determine the risks of their child inheriting one of these genetic disorders.[2]
