Direct-to-consumer carrier screening for cystic fibrosis via a hospital website
A Dutch university hospital started offering cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier screening directly to consumers (DTC) through their website in 2010. A 6-year process evaluation was conducted to evaluate the offer. Screening was implemented as intended. However, uptake was lower than expected. Forty-four tests have been requested, partly by couples with a positive family history for CF, which was not the intended target group. Users were generally posit…
With expanded carrier screening, founder populations run the risk of being overlooked
Genetically isolated populations exist worldwide. Specific genetic disorders, including rare autosomal recessive disorders may have high prevalences in these populations. We searched for Dutch genetically isolated populations and their autosomal recessive founder mutations. We investigated whether these founder mutations are covered in the (preconception) expanded carrier screening tests of five carrier screening providers. Our results show that …
