To better support expectant parents, it’s important to understand what screening and testing options are currently available. Because the prenatal testing landscape is always changing, some confusion may surround different screening options. For example, when cell-free DNA was first released in 2011, some media reports gave the impression that the tests were diagnostic when they are actually better screening tests that can have false positives at times. Watch the video below to learn more about the tests so that you can have a better understanding when speaking to clinicians and expectant parents.
Lettercase also offers an “Understanding Prenatal Screening and Testing” brochure for clinicians and expectant parents to explain testing.
