Pre- and post-testing counseling considerations for the provision of expanded carrier screening: exploration of European geneticists' views

Carrier screening is generally performed with the aim of identifying healthy couples at risk of having a child affected with a monogenic disorder to provide them with reproductive options.

However, implementation of ECS at a population level would have implications for genetic counseling practice.
