Abstract
In this chapter, we focus on the complexity of ethical issues related to reporting incidental findings from genetic tests in prenatal care and on the main problems that practitioners and patients face in clinical and research diagnostic settings. We examine the ethical issues that concern the disclosure of information and try to outline the most important points discussed in the recently developed guidelines and recommendations. We embrace the recommendations of several prominent organizations, which emphasize the crucial importance of the efforts to adopt comprehensive pre- and posttest counseling, in order to guarantee that patients have achieved a genuine understanding of the complex genetic information and are sufficiently supported to make informed decisions.
