Prenatal Genetic Counseling: Practical Support for Prenatal
Diagnostics, Decision-Making, and Dealing with Uncertainty provides
a foundation for new research and a one-stop source for physicians,
genetic counselors, psychologists, social workers, general
practitioners, grief workers, translational researchers, and
administrators seeking to work in the field of clinical genomics
ethically and in full consideration of patients' psychological
well-being. Here, an international team of experienced counselors
and clinician-scientists lay out the range of methods and
technologies applied in prenatal decision-making, including NIPT;
invasive testing with microarray analysis or whole genome
sequencing; ultrasound screening; and prenatal diagnosis for known
hereditary conditions, among others. From here, they examine
specific challenges in the clinical translation. In a field where
decisions about life or death of a child are made, professionals
are bound to encounter uncertainty. This book was co-created by
health care practitioners, scientists, patients and students to
provide insights and direction for offering support straight from
the heart to couples faced with fetal anomalies. To make this
possible for all couples, diversity in prenatal genetic counseling
is also addressed. Finally, next steps in prenatal genetic
counseling research and clinical implementation are discussed. As
we are challenged by the rapid advances in prenatal genomics, so
are our patients. Learning from our patients with every encounter,
this book aims to offer access to the insights we gathered as well
as to stimulate lifelong learning.
