The screening tests \u2013 also called \u2018preconception expanded carrier screening (ECS)\u2019 &#8211; are used to find out if individuals are carriers of faulty genes that might be passed on to their children and cause genetic disorders. Could you help by telling us about your experience? Our research project explores how people decide to use the test, the experience of the testing and what people decide after getting the results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"845\" src=\"https:\/\/precas.dmu.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image-4-1024x845.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-488\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.2118343195266272;width:238px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/precas.dmu.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image-4-1024x845.png 1024w, https:\/\/precas.dmu.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image-4-300x248.png 300w, https:\/\/precas.dmu.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image-4-768x634.png 768w, https:\/\/precas.dmu.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image-4.png 1105w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Illustrated by Ellen Van Steijvoort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">It involves one interview (usually lasting around 90 minutes) in a location convenient to you both, or by online video call if you prefer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">To take part, you would need to have no family history of heritable genetic disorders and have used, or be about to use, ECS before pregnancy.
