What is Carrier Screening — Expanded Panel (NGS)?
The expanded version of carrier screening — using next-generation sequencing to check several hundred genes at once (including conditions like SMA, thalassemia and Fragile X) instead of ~100. The most thorough carrier-screening option available, typically chosen by couples who want the broadest possible check before or during pregnancy, or who have a family history that doesn't point to one specific condition.
Why is Carrier Screening — Expanded Panel (NGS) done?
- Screens 500+ genes by next-generation sequencing for recessive conditions, including SMA and CAH (CYP21A2).
- Gives couples the broadest picture of their shared genetic risk before or early in pregnancy.
- Supports informed choices such as prenatal testing or PGT when both partners carry the same condition.
Who may be advised to take Carrier Screening — Expanded Panel (NGS)?
- Couples planning a pregnancy who want the most comprehensive carrier screen.
- Couples who are blood relatives, or who have a family history of a genetic condition.
- People who have already had a child with a genetic condition and want to understand the cause.

Good to know
- Broader panels find more carriers, so counselling matters — being a carrier is common and usually harmless on its own.
- Both partners should ideally be tested to understand the couple's real risk.
- No panel can exclude every genetic condition; a negative result lowers risk but does not eliminate it.
