Ashkenazi Jewish Genetic Panel (AJGP) - Why Not Be Tested?
There may be reasons you would choose not to have the carrier tests.
- You are already pregnant and the results will not affect your decision to continue your pregnancy.
- Carrier tests are expensive. You may decide not to have the tests if your insurance does not pay for it.
- The tests are not 100% accurate. There is a small chance that you are a carrier even if the results are normal (false-negative).

It’s natural to call the doctor if you think your child is sick. But do you really need to call every time? Not every sniffle is as serious as you may think.
