Dear Patient,

We cannot decide for you whether you should have the genetic screening or not. It's up to you and your husband to decide depending on your past pregnancies, family history and risk factors. I am sharing an article about the details of this testing and it may help you decide with respect to the benefits and harms of these screening.
