DG09-- Prenatal Issues in CF: PGT-M, cfDNA, & Case-Based Counseling

The CF genetic counseling community is growing, especially since the CF Foundation recently listed genetic counselors as core members of the CF Care Team. Addressing reproductive health needs and facilitating diagnoses are often part of the role. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic conditions (PGT-M) offers embryo testing for CF for couples at-risk, which is of increasing relevance as more adults with CF pursue parenthood. There are also advances in prenatal testing, including single-gene cell-free fetal DNA screening (cfDNA), which results in higher ascertainment of CF before birth, allowing consideration of earlier treatment.
