Brochures and Handouts
Below are handouts and brochures that can be freely used by anyone. They are designed for providers to give to their patients when topics such as carrier screening, amniocentesis, CVS, or cell-free DNA screening (also known as NIPT) are discussed.
Many brochures and handouts come from the genetic testing laboratory performing the test. While many labs have great resources for patients, there can be concern for commercial bias. The below are general factsheets without lab branding.
