Abstract
Traditionally, genetic carrier screening is performed to assess fetal risk. However, Expanded Carrier Screening (ECS) identifies carriers of recessive conditions with potential for maternal phenotypic expression. Some carriers have increased risk for cancer, bleeding, and/or cardiovascular disease. We evaluated whether the identification of a genetic mutation with potential for maternal phenotypic expression prompted patients to pursue further care in our health system.
