Who Should Consider Prenatal Screening and Genetic Counseling?
Prenatal screening and genetic counseling are recommended for various groups, including:
- Couples with a family history of genetic disorders. - Women who are 35 years or older, as the risk of chromosomal abnormalities increases with maternal age. - Couples who have had previous pregnancies affected by genetic conditions. - Individuals from certain ethnic backgrounds with higher prevalence of specific genetic disorders. - Couples who are known carriers of genetic mutations.
