[quote=Anonymous]Carrier screening is offered to women/couples who conceive naturally, too. The full Counsyl Foresight carrier screen tests for something like 176 genetic conditions between you and your partner. A subset of the conditions on the list that the Counsyl test covers have well-documented early intervention strategies, so that can be useful to expecting parents and their healthcare teams to be prepared for, if there is an increased chance the child could be born with whatever genetic condition. I think the decision really comes down to how much advance information/well-prepared couples may want to be, how risk-averse they are, etc.[/quote]
