Reproductive carrier screening (RCS) should be proactively integrated into preconception care


The 3-gene, Medicare-funded panel screens for cystic fibrosis (CF), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and fragile X syndrome (FXS)


A low-risk carrier screening result is reassuring, but not absolute


Partner testing is essential when a patient is identified as a carrier


Fragile X results may have implications for the patient's own health


Genetic counselling and clear documentation are critical components of care


Healthcare professionals play a critical role in supporting patients to understand and manage RCS and its implications

 

Host: Dr Sara Whitburn | Total Time:58 mins

Experts: A/Prof Marina Berbic, Genetic Pathologist and Wendy Bruce, Executive Director
