Prenatal whole exome sequencing (WES) has the potential to improve prenatal genetic diagnosis. While there are multiple benefits of prenatal WES, the limitations and shortcomings of this technology should be recognized. This webinar provides an overview on the current state of prenatal genetic diagnostic testing, with a specific focus on prenatal WES. Specifically, this webinar will differentiate prenatal genetic screening and prenatal genetic diagnosis, describe the variety of genetic test that can be offered for prenatal genetic diagnosis (including their strengths and limitations), and conclude with a discussion on the data supporting WES, clinical considerations for its use, and societal recommendations for prenatal WES.
