Cystic Fibrosis Carrier Screening - Is Screening Accurate?
The blood test can detect whether a person is a carrier of CF in about 90 out of 100 CF carriers. This rate is not the same among all racial and ethnic groups. There is a small risk that you may be a CF carrier even when the test results are negative.4
