Design of a randomized controlled trial for genomic carrier screening in healthy patients seeking preconception genetic testing

Abstract excerpt

Population-based carrier screening is limited to well-studied or high-impact genetic conditions for which the benefits may outweigh the associated harms and costs. As the cost of genome sequencing declines and availability increases, the balance of risks and benefits may change for a much larger number of genetic conditions, including medically actionable additional findings. We designed an RCT to evaluate...
