Abstract
Prior to 2021 there was no consensus on which conditions should be considered for population based prenatal carrier screening. International professional organizations offered differing opinions, and available technologies were not uniformly considered. Conditions selected were determined by diagnostic companies with wide variation in the number and clinical phenotype of conditions. Selection of autosomal recessive and X-linked conditions appropriate for population-based carrier screening during the prenatal period requires an approach that is responsible. Responsibility relies on transparency when it comes to the policies and considerations used to include conditions appropriate for screening. In April 2021, Dr Gregg and colleagues co-authored a transparent process that has been scrutinized, utilized and assessed by policy advocates and researchers on 3 continents. In this talk Dr Gregg will describe the methodology that led to the recommendation of 113 conditions for population-based carrier screening. These recommendations require that commercial and public laboratories adjust their laboratory testing protocols and processes to accommodate conditions that are difficult to screen for while allowing for high throughput and fast turnaround time to results. Dr Gregg will discuss how conditions were selected for screening and how these barriers can be overcome.
