"Carrier Screening Revisited: The case for universal, expanded carrier screening" with Dr. Goldwaser

Geneticist Dr. Tamar Goldwaser joins Dr. Fox for an updated discussion on carrier screening and how it is recently changing and becoming more accessible. In previous years, different genetic tests were offered to people based on their reported ethnicity, but self-reported ethnicity is not always accurate. By looking at carrier frequencies across demographics, Dr. Goldwaser and a team of medical geneticists in the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics compiled a list of 113 genes that every patient should be screened for during their prenatal care.
