Ordering Recommendations

Horizon is a carrier screen that evaluates a patient's carrier status for up to 274 autosomal-recessive and X-linked genetic conditions.  There are five (5) different panels that check between 4 and 274 genetic conditions.

This test is referred to an outside lab.

Testing options:
Horizon 4:  SMA, CF, Fragile X, DMD panel
Horizon 27: 27 disease Pan-ethnic Standard panel
Horizon 106: 106 disease Comprehensive Jewish panel
Horizon 137: 137 disease Pan-ethnic Large panel
Horizon 274: 274 disease Pan-ethnic Extended panel

Orderable SIM Number(s)

CARRIER SCREENING (NATERA)  (LAB123143)

  This test requires prior authorization (PA) and should be placed as a future order in the outpatient setting. If unable to obtain PA, please have patient sign a financial waiver.
