Preconception clinical genetics.
In Canada today, the average family size is declining and the expectation of most couples regarding health for their children is rising. These trends are placing more "value" on each pregnancy. Couples who are concerned about future pregnancies are now more often seeking advice relating to their family history and the risks of having children born with significant disorders before they undertake a conception. The family physician can play a key role in providing preconception counselling.
