Should Clinicians Leave "Expanded" Carrier Screening Decisions to Patients?

Abstract:
Many patients choose to undergo some type of carrier screening when pregnant or planning to become pregnant. "Expanded" carrier screening products test all patients for the same conditions, regardless of family history, race, or ethnicity. Proponents of expanded screening argue that testing everyone for everything can identify more couples at risk of having an affected fetus. However, most conditions on expanded carrier screening panels do not adhere to criteria recommended by professional organizations and can leave patients with a positive test result but little helpful information about actual clinical risk for their future baby. Confusion persists about whether clinicians should leave carrier screening decisions to patients.
