Clinical Info

Expanded carrier screening (ECS) offers the benefit of testing via full sequencing for many genetic conditions at once. The Foresight® Carrier Screen from Myriad Genetics, Inc., screens for more than 176 genes with a single blood or saliva sample. Approximately 1 in 300 pregnancies is affected by one of the conditions in the Foresight panel – the total risk of serious disorders identified through our panel is higher than the incidence of Down Syndrome and neural tube defects
