Genetic counseling for congenital heart disease – Practice resource of the National Society of Genetic Counselors

Abstract: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is an indication which spans multiple specialties across various genetic counseling practices. This practice resource aims to provide guidance on key considerations when approaching counseling for this particular indication while recognizing the rapidly changing landscape of knowledge within this domain. This resource was developed with consensus from a diverse group of certified genetic counselors utilizing literature relevant for CHD genetic counseling practice and is aimed at … Show more

“…While altering curricula of graduate programs was not a goal of this study or a recommendation from the findings, it shows that professional‐level resources maybe more reasonable and scalable. We look forward to seeing how the recently published NSGC Practice Resource for CHDs will be utilized by genetic counselors of all specialties (Ison et al., 2021).…”

“…Our study is concordant with previous findings regarding a diagnostic yield of 6%-12% among fetuses with cardiac anomalies. [19][20][21] Given these findings and recognized society guidelines for prenatal diagnostic testing for fetal anomalies, 5,22,23 CB collection for microarray is an appropriate test for structurally anomalous fetuses, particularly those with congenital heart anomalies.…”
