Ancestry-Based Carrier Screening Gene Panel

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 81412

Reads a set of genes at once to find out whether a healthy person carries a genetic change for any of a group of inherited conditions that occur more often in people of a particular ancestry. It is screening rather than diagnosis: carriers are usually well themselves, and the result matters mainly for the chance of passing a condition on to a child. It is typically done before or early in a pregnancy, often with the partner tested as well.
