The way many think about carrier screening is changing
Carrier screening, once thought to be a test primarily for specific ethnic groups, is now often recommended for every patient. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recently updated its recommendations, stating that carrier screening for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), in addition to cystic fibrosis (CF), "should be offered to all women who are considering pregnancy or are currently pregnant."1
Inheritest®
Inheritest® provides carrier screening for more than 500 genes that can cause cognitive or physical impairment and/or require surgical or medical intervention.
Selected to focus on severe disorders of childhood-onset, and to meet ACOG and the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) criteria, many of the disorders share a recommendation for early intervention.
One fast result for fragile X risk assessment, now enhanced with AGG analysis
Inheritest® Carrier Screen offers a fast turnaround time for a complete and final fragile X result with both CGG and AGG repeats reported.
~14 days
Inheritest® Carrier Screen lab report
including a final CGG/AGG fragile X result
AGG analysis in women who have a premutation with 55-90 CGG repeats provides a more accurate risk assessment compared to CGG testing alone.2-4 And with our unique, integrated approach, this combined CGG/AGG fragile X result is available without extending turnaround time, providing you and your patients with one timely and more refined risk estimate.
Inheritest® Panels
Includes more than 500 genes, each associated with a clinically-relevant genetic disorder. It is one of the first carrier screening panels of this size, providing expanded gene coverage to empower your patients with even more relevant genetic information.
Includes more than 110 disorders across 144 different genes—includes all disorders in Core, Society-guided, and Ashkenazi Jewish panels.
Screens for more than 40 disorders specific to individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
Screens for more than 13 disorders included in the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines.
Screens only for cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, and fragile X syndrome, some of the most common—and severe—genetic disorders.
Screens only for cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy, the two most common—and severe—genetic disorders. According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, all women who are considering pregnancy or are currently pregnant should be offered these genetic tests.1
Other carrier screening options
In addition to Inheritest, Integrated Genetics offers a variety of single-gene tests for patients who may only want to screen for a specific disorder, such as cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, or fragile X syndrome.
