Prenatal Core Carrier Screening Panel

General Information

Lab Name
Prenatal Core Carrier Screening Panel
Lab Code
PCCSP
Epic Name
Prenatal Core Carrier Screening Panel
Description

This panel is composed of the following tests:

1. Cystic fibrosis DNA screen (Lab Code: CFDNA)

2. Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Carrier Test (Sendout) Lab Code: RSMACT)

3. Hb Disorder Thalassemia Carrier Screen (Lab Code: HBTHCS) with reflex to alpha globin gene analysis (Lab Code: AGGA), &/or Alpha Hemoglobin DNA Sequence (Lab Code: HASEQ), &/or Beta Hemoglobin DNA Sequence (Lab Code: HBSEQ) if clinically indicated

4. CBC (Hemogram)

Please see the individual test components for further information.

ADVISORY: This panel is for reproductive carrier screening ONLY. For other situations, order individual tests. Do not deselect any components! CBC is required for Hemoglobinopathy/Thalassemia testing. Furthermore, if Cystic Fibrosis testing is deselected, reflex genetic testing for Hemoglobinopathies/Thalassemias will NOT be performed even if indicated.

Test codes to screen for individual conditions:

Cystic Fibrosis = CFDNA

Spinal Muscular Atrophy = RSMACT

Hemoglobinopathies/Thalassemias = HBTHLI (includes HBTHAL and CBC)

Components

Interpretation

Method

Testing for carrier status for Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Cystic Fibrosis, thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies (see HBTHAL or HBTHLI full descriptions). If clinically indicated based on thalassemia/hemoglobinopathy testing, samples will reflex to alpha globin deletion testing (PCR-based deletion analysis), Alpha globin gene sequencing, and/or Beta globin gene sequencing (see AGGA, HASEQ, HBSEQ full descriptions).
