Towards adequate national provision of genomic testing in pregnancy

现在可以使用染色体微阵列提供有关未出生儿童的基因组信息，这种微阵列有可能给澳大利亚的孕产妇保健带来革命性的变化，但目前仅用于高危妊娠。很快，所有孕妇，即目前接受产前筛查的绝大多数孕妇，都将能够获得这项技术和其他基因组技术。我们将研究胎儿基因组测试的心理影响，并在此过程中评估服务规划的必要性，以及澳大利亚潜在的法律和政策变化。

Genomic information about unborn children can now be provided using chromosomal microarrays which have the potential to revolutionize maternal care in Australia, but are currently only used in high risk pregnancies. Soon all pregnant women, the vast majority who currently have prenatal screening, will be able to access this and other genomic technologies. We will examine the psychological impact of fetal genomic testing and, in doing so, assess the need for service planning, as well as potential legal and policy changes in Australia.
