Genetic Counseling
During your pregnancy, your doctor may suggest
that you complete a variety of genetic tests.
Penn’s Division of Reproductive Genetics
provides comprehensive diagnostic services, medical
management, counseling and follow-up care for
individuals and families who are affected by or
concerned about genetic disorders.
The Division of Reproductive Genetics offers
a full range of prenatal
tests, including Down’s
syndrome, spina
bifida (myelomeningocele), hemophilia,
sickle cell
disease, and more. Genetic counselors are
available to discuss your options and will advise
you on what raising a handicapped child will mean
for your family. Penn obstetricians
and maternal fetal medicine
specialists work closely with genetic physicians
and genetic counselors.

geneticists and prenatal
