    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Reproductive Decision-Making

    Background:

    • Limited data exist on factors influencing family planning after a child's genetic disorder diagnosis.
    • Recurrence risk perception may be less impactful than the experienced disease burden.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the factors influencing decisions about having more children after a child is diagnosed with a genetic disorder.
    • To understand the perceived importance of recurrence risk versus disease burden in reproductive choices.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative exploration of couple's experiences and decision-making processes.
    • Analysis of the impact of genetic disorder diagnosis on family life and future planning.

    Main Results:

    • The emotional and practical burden of a genetic disorder significantly impacts family decisions.
    • Recurrence risk, even when substantial, may not be the primary driver in subsequent reproductive choices.

    Conclusions:

    • The lived experience and impact of a genetic disorder on family life are key factors in reproductive decisions.
    • Emotional support during genetic counseling is crucial, potentially outweighing the need for strict procedural standardization.
