Carrier Testing | Vibepedia

Carrier testing is a form of genetic screening. By understanding their carrier status, individuals and couples can make informed decisions about family planning, including options like preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) with [[in-vitro-fertilization|IVF]], prenatal diagnosis, or adoption. The scale of genetic screening has expanded dramatically with advances in [[next-generation-sequencing|next-generation sequencing]] technologies, enabling comprehensive panels that test for hundreds of conditions simultaneously, moving beyond single-gene tests historically offered by companies like [[23andme|23andMe]] and [[ancestrydna|AncestryDNA]].
