What is Genetic Testing?

If you're pregnant, you're probably fully aware of the on-slot of prenatal tests available to you. But are you familiar with genetic testing? A genetic test can identify the likelihood of passing on certain genetic diseases or disorders caused by defective genes to your kids. You might want to consider getting a genetic test to look for the following:
  • Down syndrome
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Sickle cell anemia
  • Tay-Sachs
If the health history in your family is suspect, you might want to consider genetic counseling. Genetic counseling can help you:
  • Evaluate family history and medical records
  • Order a genetic test
  • Help you evaluate the results
  • Help you make informed decisions about your pregnancy
