If the referral is to assess implications of a family history to a pregnancy, as possible, individuals and families should be referred to Medical Genetics before initiating a pregnancy. If this is not possible, it is important to be referred early in a pregnancy so that appropriate care can be provided. Common reasons for referral include a family history of possible genetic condition, where there are questions about impact on future offspring.
Pregnant women may be referred for genetic assessment and counselling based on an ultrasound or prenatal genetic screening result (including NIPT).
