Clinical Information
  • description:the patient is considered as carrier based on the testing results. A carrier is an individual who carries an altered form of a gene which can lead to having a child or offspring in future generations with a genetic disorder
  • An individual who is heterozygous for a recessive gene and thus does not express the recessive phenotype but can transmit the gene to offspring
