About DNA Carrier Status/Family Planning
Understand your genetic carrier status before starting a family
A person can carry a genetic variant associated with an inherited condition without having the condition themselves. In autosomal recessive inheritance, a condition usually develops when a child inherits a disease-causing variant in the same gene from each biological parent. Understanding carrier status can therefore be relevant even when there is no known diagnosis in the family.

Understanding Your Results
The report indicates whether the tested variants have been identified. For some conditions, the result may be undetermined.
A finding may indicate carrier status and should be assessed by a healthcare professional, who may recommend confirmatory testing and genetic counselling. A negative result does not rule out carrier status, as other variants may be present that the test does not examine.
The test is not diagnostic and should not be used on its own to make medical or pregnancy-related decisions.
