Myriad Foresight® Carrier Screen

Your Partner in Planning

Identify more couples at risk of passing down serious inherited, prevalent, and clinically-actionable conditions.

WHY MYRIAD FORESIGHT

Myriad Women’s Health pioneered expanded carrier screening and our Myriad Foresight Carrier Screen is systematically designed to maximize the detection of at-risk couples for a pregnancy affected by inherited conditions. We offer seamless support and services to make it easy to integrate genetic screening into your practice.

This means more of your patients will benefit from valuable information that can make a difference in health outcomes for families.

A PANEL WITH A PURPOSE

The goal of carrier screening is to detect couples who are at risk of passing down serious inherited conditions. That's why we've designed the Foresight Carrier Screen to maximize detection rates for the diseases that matter the most.

Unmatched at-risk couple detection

Have the utmost confidence you aren’t missing couples at risk with the highest published at-risk couple detection rate for serious inherited conditions (1 in 22 couples)1

Superior technology

Unmatched detection rates for the vast majority of genes on our panel (>99% across ethnicities) means you can trust both positive and negative results.

Seamless Patient Care with Myriad CompleteTM

Whether its automated results reporting and tracking, merged reports for couples, or on-demand patient education, our solutions are designed to help the patient through the screening process.

PRIORITIZING CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE IN PANEL DESIGN

Our experts evaluated >650 genes based on strict criteria in an effort to produce not simply more, but meaningful clinical information. Thus, we selected 176 genes for the Foresight Carrier Screen.

Severity

Is this condition mild? Or is it serious (moderate, severe or profound)?3

Actionability

Is this information helpful to patients?

Prevalence

Is this condition common enough to be of value?

Sensitivity

With the best technology available, how well can we identify carriers?

Flexible Panel Choices for Personalized Care

Universal carrier screening for cystic fibrosis and spinal muscular atrophy is recommended by American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. (ACOG).4,5

30% more pregnancies affected with cystic fibrosis* can be identified using Myriad Women’s Health’s testing methodology.
*when compared to a traditional 23 mutation panel

Incidence of affected pregnancies

Approximately 1 in 300 pregnancies are affected by a condition screened by the Myriad Foresight Carrier Screen1

  • Down Syndrome: 1 in 800 births9
  • Open Neural Tube Defects: 1 in 1,000 births10
  • Cystic Fibrosis: 1 in 3,500 births11

About the Foresight Carrier Screen

The Myriad Foresight Carrier Screen identifies couples who are at elevated risk of passing inherited conditions to their children. Strict disease inclusion criteria are used to select conditions that are serious, clinically-actionable, and prevalent. These conditions have various outcomes:

Improves with early intervention

There is standard, recommended treatment that is reasonably accessible to most affected individuals. e.g. Phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (PKU), Wilson disease, Galactosemia, 21-hydroxylase-deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-OH CAH)

Leads to shortened life expectancy

Decrease in average lifespan of affected individuals. e.g. cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, spinal muscular atrophy

Causes intellectual disability

A significant risk of intellectual disability, either with or without standard treatment. e.g. fragile X syndrome, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, metachromatic leukodystrophy

Has limited or no treatment options

Diseases are not currently curable and effective treatment options are lacking. e.g. Krabbe disease, Bloom syndrome

Maximizing Detection Rates Through Technology

Full-exon sequencing

Provides a significant advantage over targeted sequencing in identifying carriers.

Custom assays

For prevalent, technically-challenging, difficult-to-sequence genes like 21-hydroxylase-deficient congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-OH CAH).

Panel-wide deletion calling

With select duplication calling for certain prevalent conditions to further boost sensitivity.

Real-time curation

Combines automation with manual investigation to classify variants.
