Disease Risk Table

Optional title

Below are the carrier rates, detection rates, and residual risks for the conditions on this panel. A negative carrier screening result reduces the risk for a patient to be a carrier of a specific disease but does not completely rule out carrier status. Patients with a family history for a specific genetic disease will have a higher carrier risk prior to testing and, if the disease-causing mutation in their family is not included on the test, their carrier risk would remain unchanged. Genetic counseling is recommended for patients with a family history of genetic disease so that risk figures based on actual family history can be determined and discussed along with potential implications for reproduction.

 

The analytic detection rate and residual risks derived from these rates are displayed below. The analytic detection rates is a methodology-based detection rate. This rate represents the percentage of pathogenic variants in a gene that the method/s used to screen a certain gene can detect. If you are interested in mutation based detection rates, please contact Natera.

Please note these tests were developed and their performance characteristics were determined by Baylor Miraca Genetics Laboratories, 2450 Holcombe Blvd, Ste O100, Houston, TX 77021 (CLIA ID number 45D0660090). A portion of the technical component of these tests may have been performed at 106 East Sixth Street, Suite 934, Austin, TX 78701 (CLIA ID number 45D2093704). They have not been cleared or approved by the FDA. These analyses generally provide highly accurate information regarding the patient’s carrier status. Despite this high level of accuracy, it should be kept in mind that there are many potential sources of diagnostic error, including misidentification of samples, polymorphisms, or other rare genetic variants that interfere with analysis. Families should understand that rare diagnostic errors may occur for these reasons.
