Abstract

In this chapter, we describe how the field of prenatal counseling is changing under the influence of whole exome sequencing (WES). WES broadens the scope of prenatal diagnoses, entailing a shift from phenotype first to genotype first. For both HCP’s and parents, this implies a change in counseling, other demands for informed decision making and a challenge for dealing with results of uncertain meaning.
