February 16, 2022
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
America/New_York
Online Event

Join a panel of pediatric and obstetrical specialists from Columbia University Irving Medical Center and NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital for an informational conversation on the prenatal diagnosis of genetic disorders. For couples at increased risk of having a child affected by a genetic condition, learn how our experts now make it possible to test an embryo prior to implantation, before the beginning of pregnancy, to identify specific inheritable, genetic conditions and chromosomal abnormalities. New technologies also enable assessment of recurrence risk for de novo mutations. Our experts will discuss the current status of genetic testing options before, during, and after pregnancy.
