About the Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Testing - Screen
This carrier panel screens for four inherited conditions that are more common in people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent: Canavan disease, cystic fibrosis, familial dysautonomia, and Tay-Sachs disease. It looks for specific gene mutations associated with each condition. Carriers usually have no symptoms but can pass a condition to a child if both partners carry it. Clinicians order it for reproductive planning and family-risk assessment.

- People of Ashkenazi Jewish descent planning a pregnancy.
- Couples considering reproductive carrier screening.
- Individuals with a family history of any of these conditions.
- People currently pregnant who want carrier information.
- Anyone with a partner known to be a carrier.

Before your visit
- No fasting is required for carrier screening.
- Take usual medications unless told otherwise.
- Share family history and reproductive plans.
- A blood or saliva sample may be used.
- Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.
Understanding your results
A positive result indicates carrier status for one or more of the screened conditions, meaning a person carries a mutation without usually having symptoms. Risk to a child depends on whether both partners are carriers. Because results can affect family planning, they are best reviewed with a genetic counselor. Discuss the findings with a healthcare provider and genetic counselor.
