In our 131st episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Zoë Milgrom from Eugene. Zoë is a trained genetic counsellor and she answers all our question about pre-conception genetic testing.

  • What is a genetic counsellor?
  • What is Eugene? And what prompted Zoe to start Eugene?
  • What exactly is pre-conception genetic testing/genetic carrier screening?
  • Is family history a good predictor of whether or not you’re likely to have a child with an inherited genetic condition?
  • What does genetic testing look for? And why are some of the things not detectable/tested?
  • If you do a genetic test and discover that your child might be a carrier of a particular genetic condition, what happens next?
  • Is the father/sperm donor always tested?
  • How does genetic carrier screening differ from the NIPT Harmony Test? And should you do both?
  • What is the cost of pre-conception genetic testing/genetic carrier screening?
  • Does preconception genetic testing/genetic carrier screening have any impact on life insurance/health insurance?
  • If you’re already doing IVF, is pre-conception genetic testing/genetic carrier screening still necessary?
  • And SO MUCH MORE!
