Prenatal Genetics

Our Prenatal Genetics Program accepts referrals to provide comprehensive genetic counselling and support for pregnant patients with the following:

• Patients with an increased chance of a pregnancy with a genetic diagnosis due to information from their personal medical history, prenatal screening results, or fetal ultrasound findings.
• We also offer services to those contemplating pregnancy in the future with the above indications. 

Please note we no longer offer counselling for:

• Consanguinity unless there is an identified genetic diagnosis in the family.
• Ancestry-based carrier screening unless both individuals contributing to the pregnancy are of the same/at-risk ancestries, and the patient is pregnant.
• Patients who have had recurrent spontaneous miscarriages (3 or more).  

We are happy to discuss with you the medical, social, ethical, and psychological benefits and limitations of genetic testing.
