Attitudes of the general population towards preconception expanded carrier screening for autosomal recessive disorders including inborn errors of metabolism
2019, Molecular Genetics and MetabolismCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, 32% of the participants in our study indicated that they expected to feel less healthy as a carrier, although carriers typically do not experience any symptoms. The misconception about feeling less healthy after finding out about being a carrier has also previously been reported [41–43]. These misconceptions (on inheritance patterns and being symptomatic as a carrier) indicate that the written introduction to the ECS questionnaire, at least in some aspects, was not correctly understood.
Outcomes of Counseling after Education about Carrier Results: A Randomized Controlled Trial

2014, Journal of Cystic FibrosisCitation Excerpt :Only the fear of discrimination correlated with not supporting screening. A number of studies have demonstrated that while anxiety is high among people identified as carriers, this is usually rapidly relieved by their partners testing negative [23–26]. In the program in Victoria, Australia, offered through antenatal care providers, none of the carriers with a test negative partner requested face to face counseling (despite the offer) and did not register higher anxiety scores than non-carriers when questioned a year or more later [19,27].
Sexual and reproductive health knowledge in cystic fibrosis female patients and their parents
2009, Journal of Sexual MedicineCitation Excerpt :Most women reported that they want to have children in the future, but—in contrast to the parents—they overestimated the risk of having a child with CF. These results are consistent with that of Sawyer et al. [20]. Also, previous studies have shown the adverse psychological effect of knowledge about carrier status [19,31]. The main reason for fear among CF patients regarding having children is because of the fact that in Poland we are able to diagnose only about 40–100 of the most frequent CF mutations for our population.
