Is there a Role for Genetic Counselors in Prenatal Paternity Testing? – an Assessment Based on Audit of 13 years of Clinical Experience in South Australia

Abstract: The role of genetic counselors in prenatal paternity testing has not been widely studied in the genetic counseling literature. In South Australia, the genetic counselors of the State's public sector clinical genetics service are the primary contact point for women seeking information and testing, also coordinating the testing process. This has provided the opportunity to review all prenatal paternity testing performed in the State over a 13 year period and to consider the role played by the genetic counselor. … Show more

“…In the future, the use of NIPT has the potential to expand to screen for a growing number of conditions such as additional and more rare chromosomal aneuploidies (other than those currently screened for), fetal CNV detection, paternity testing [56], as well as a host of more ethically contentious uses (e.g., late onset diseases or futuristic applications such as non-medical traits). The currently booming industry for genetic testing, from ancestry to direct-to-consumer 'recreational genetics' [57], attests to the fact that there is great public interest in genetic information, even if based on pure curiosity, and that weak scientific reliability is therefore no obstacle to marketing efforts [58].…”
