Screening before or during pregnancy empowers you to make meaningful and time-sensitive decisions that are best for your family.
Genetic screening has become an important part of reproductive planning
Genetic screening helps most families learn that their pregnancy or their baby is at low risk for a genetic condition.
For a few others, genetic screening can help them understand if their baby is at risk for a chromosomal condition or for inheriting a serious health condition.
Knowing this information helps you and your healthcare provider take steps in pursuing diagnostic testing and creating informed plans for care and support before, during, and after your pregnancy.
Myriad Genetics offers two powerful screening options with industry-leading reliability, comprehensive patient support, and insights to guide next steps.
Think you wouldn’t do anything differently no matter what the result?
Genetic screens can help you plan and prepare
Find a hospital for delivery that is equipped to manage newborns with genetic conditions
Seek out possible early interventions
Talk with a genetic counselor or work with a support group to understand what lies ahead
Foresight Carrier Screen
The Foresight Carrier Screen can be done before or during pregnancy to determine if you, your partner, or donor carry inherited health conditions such as cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Fragile X syndrome, and 269 other conditions that could be passed down to a child.
- Designed for all ancestries
- Industry-leading detection rates
- Pre- and post-screen support from board-certified genetic counselors
- Likely covered by medical insurance; financial assistance may be available

Prequel Prenatal Screen
The Prequel Prenatal Screen can be taken as early as 10 weeks into pregnancy. Results can identify if your pregnancy or your baby may have an increased risk of a chromosomal condition that happens by chance like Down, Edwards, or Patau syndrome.
- Designed for all BMIs as well as twin and IVF pregnancies1,2
- Can screen for expected sex of your baby in a singleton or twin pregnancy
- Pre- and post-screen support from board-certified genetic counselors
- Likely covered by medical insurance; financial assistance may be available

Patient stories

Early insights helped Ashley prepare
“Carrier screening empowers you to make the right decisions. Not only are you making a decision for yourself right now but you’re making a decision for the next 80, 90, 100 years to create a better life for you and your baby.”

Prenatal screening gave Hannah time to plan
“Once we got the noninvasive prenatal screening results back, we were able to meet with a lot more physicians.”

Frequently asked questions
- Why should I pursue genetic screening with Prequel and Foresight?
Prequel and Foresight genetic screenings are recommended by medical professionals for every parent-to-be. Genetic screening gives you additional insights into the health of your baby and your pregnancy. You and your healthcare provider will make decisions about next steps such as diagnostic testing depending on the results. Given that these are important decisions, you want to get results you can trust. Myriad, with over 30 years of experience in genetic testing, has developed the Prequel screen to deliver results to 99% of patients regardless of BMI at 10 weeks5. Myriad also developed the Foresight screen with the industry’s highest published at-risk couple detection rate and a 99% detection rate for the vast majority of the conditions it screens for6.
- Why does my healthcare provider need to order this for me? The Prequel and the Foresight screens are medical grade genetic tests that require a healthcare professional’s signature to meet health insurance requirements. In addition, the results of these screening tests may indicate that additional procedures are needed, and your healthcare provider is in the best position to guide you through that process. If you would like to proceed to testing for Foresight from the comfort of your home, consider our virtual care services which connect you to a genetic counselor who will help you submit your sample.
- What are the potential outcomes of the Foresight screen and their impact on me?
For the Foresight screen, you will learn if you and your partner are at risk for passing on a heritable condition to your baby. Most couples are at a very low risk. For most conditions in our panel, you and your partner must both be carriers of a mutation in the same gene for your baby to be at risk. If by chance this is the case and you are not pregnant, you can consider fertility options such as in-vitro fertilization with genetic testing for the embryo prior to implantation. If you are already pregnant, speak to your healthcare provider. They may recommend that you pursue diagnostic testing such as amniocentesis or newborn screening soon after birth. These are a few of the many options you have available.
- What are the potential outcomes of the Prequel screen and their impact on me?
For the Prequel screen, you may learn if your baby is at risk for a chromosomal condition such as Down, Edwards, or Patau syndrome. You may also learn more about the health of your pregnancy. For most patients, their results will show a low risk. For those at high risk, the provider may recommend that you pursue diagnostic testing such as amniocentesis to confirm the results of the genetic screen.
- When will I receive my results?
For the Prequel screen, you may expect your results in 7-10 days. For the Foresight screen, you may expect your results in about 2.5 weeks.
