Description
Carrier Screening is an important component of genetic health
care for family planning, and a pillar of prevention and precision medicine.
Advances in technology can now provide individuals with knowledge related to
their risk of having children with genetic disorders prior to pregnancy and can
impact patient decisions regarding family planning. This information can be
critical for the health of a child since some disorders are amenable to early
treatment in the neonatal period. Family planning takes place in both the
primary care and obstetric setting. Nurses are key educators in both of these
arenas and are ideally poised to help patients understand the valuable
information that carrier screening can provide.
