Traditional carrier screening based on ethnicity has been a standard approach in maternal fetal medicine, but newer expanded carrier screening methods are redefining that standard for couples considering pregnancy or those who are already pregnant. Joining host, Dr. John Russell, is Dr. Ronald Wapner, Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Maternal Fetal Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center in New York and Lisa Pike-Buchanan, a Genetic Counselor with Quest Diagnostics. They will discuss current insights on expanded carrier screening and evolving technologies and counseling roles.
