If a patient wanted to know the potential of passing on a genetic disease what test would be MOST useful?
The most useful test for assessing the potential of passing on a genetic disease is genetic carrier screening. This test can identify whether an individual carries a gene mutation associated with specific inherited conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease. If both parents are carriers, further testing and counseling can help determine the risk of having an affected child. Additionally, preimplantation genetic testing can be considered for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization.
