AJFN Foundations: Genetic-Carrier Screening

What we will discuss:

• Why genetic-carrier screening is particularly relevant within the Jewish community

• The difference between school-based screening and comprehensive panel testing available today

• How and when to get tested, and what the testing process involves (through Wolper Jewish Hospital)

• What it means to be a carrier

• What happens if both partners are carriers of the same condition

• The reproductive options available to you
