In this episode of the SART Fertility Experts podcast, host Dr. Kelly Lynch welcomes Teresa Cacchione, MS, a clinical genetic counselor at RMA of New York, to explore the evolving landscape of carrier screening. They discuss the importance of genetic screening for X-linked and recessive conditions, differences between panel sizes, ethical considerations, cost, timing, and how screening supports informed reproductive choices. Learn how carrier screening aligns with ASRM guidelines and empowers patients—especially those pursuing fertility treatment or using donor gametes—to plan confidently and proactively.
