Molecular assay reagents intended to identify gene variants common across multiple ethic groups that have the potential to be inherited by and cause disease in offspring of the tested individual or individuals. Pan-ethnic carrier screening panels test simultaneously for genetic variants in multiple loci associated with genetic diseases highly prevalent in a wide range of ethnicities (e.g., cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy). Pan-ethnic carrier screening tests are typically used as a part of preconception genetic testing.
