OBG 410 - Reproductive Genetics

0 Credit Hours
Although exposed to the general “concepts” of genetic risk assessment in the third year clerkship, the majority of students have little experience with medical genetics as practiced. The goals of the elective will include observation of genetic counseling, risk assessment calculation, counseling regarding prenatal diagnosis options, prenatal screening to include noninvasive prenatal testing of fetal aneuploidy (NIPT), population based carrier screening, ultrasound assessment of fetal anomalies ( and their implications), teratogen exposure in pregnancy and recurrence risk.
