Attitudes toward fragile X mutation carrier testing from women identified in a general population survey.

Journal of genetic counseling - 1 Feb 2007

Anido Aimee, Carlson Lisa M, Sherman Stephanie L

Abstract excerpt

Fragile X syndrome is primarily due to a CGG repeat expansion found in the FMR1 X-linked gene. In a previous study, we conducted focus groups with women to assess their attitudes towards fragile X carrier screening. In this follow-up study, we conducted in-depth interviews of general population reproductive-age women who were identified as carriers. We explored their attitudes toward testing for carrier status of...
